- Abstract
The article presents a study where, the soluble polymers, polypyrrole (PPY) were synthesized with the secondary dopant. This soluble conducting polymer dissolved in polar organic solvents, like chloroform. These soluble characteristics enabled the synthesis of polymer/clay nanocomposites via a solvent casting method, and the increased interlayer spacing was confirmed via X-ray diffraction. As one of the novel conducting polymers, polypyrrole has been widely studied due to its good thermal and environmental stability as well as its superior electric conductivity, and electrorheological applications. However, PPY is generally insoluble in typical organic solvents because of its strong interand intra-molecular interactions and the formation of a cross-linked structure.
