Conducting Polymers move from primarily passive materials to active materials with useful optical, electronic, energy storage, and mechanical properties. A representative of conducting polymer (Polypyrrole) was synthesized by polymerization of Pyrrole monomer using KMnO4 as an oxidant. Synthesis was carried out by varying various parameters to achieve optimum properties. The internal properties of Polypyrrole were investigated by FTIR, SEM, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Internal electrical conductivity was studied by two probe methods. It was found that Polypyrrole synthesized for 3 hours using KMnO4 has the bestconducting properties and yield is also maximum in the process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
