Abstract Conducting polymers have emerged as an important class of electronic materials because of their potential applications in solid state batteries, electrochromic displays and microelectronic devices, etc. A large number of conducting polymers such as polyacetylene, polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline and polythiophene etc., have been synthesized and characterized in recent past. Among these, PPy has been considered as an extremely interesting polymer having the delocalized -electrons. It is more intriguing to explore the possibility of enhancing and/or extending their properties by the formation of nanocomposites with inorganic materials such as magnetic iron oxides and clay minerals. In spite of the interest of PPy, it has many drawbacks as low adsorption properties. |
