Co₃O₄ quantum dot decorated polypyrrole nanocomposites as a flexible, conducting, anticorrosive and antibacterial agent: sustainable experimental and theoretical approach

Abstract

The self-assembled cobalt oxide quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by the inverse micelle technique. Polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized by the chemical-oxidative method. Co3O4 QDs-based PPy nanocomposites (NCs) were prepared by...

Developing tiny-sized particles, different modification behaviors of gold atoms, and nucleating distorted particles

“…47 A mechanism of the antibacterial activity of Co 3 O 4 and polypyrrole nanocomposites was proposed. 48 The development of metal nanoparticles encapsulated with polypyrrole plastic nanocomposites was reviewed. 49 To examine the antibacterial activities, a variety of complexes was developed in a template reaction.…”

Synthesis and characterization of polyfuran/polythiophene oligomers: Oligomer–protein interaction studies

“…Electroactive polymers such as polythiophene (PTh), 1,2 polyaniline (PANI), 3 poly(o‐phenylenediamine) (POPD), 4 poly(1‐naphthylamine) (PNA), 5 polycarbazole (PCz), 6 polypyrrole (PPy), 7–9 polyacetylene (PAc), 10 and so forth find extensive application in the field of biosensors 11–13 . organic solar cells, 14 photocatalysis, 15,16 and corrosion inhibitors 17 .…”
