Abstract

Polypyrrole/multiwall carbon nanotube (PPy/MWCNT) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by electropolymerization of MWCNT-dispersed pyrrole solution on the surface of copper electrodes. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Polypyrrole structures which embraced the MWCNTs led to the formation of nanocomposite striated parallel walls. MWCNTs acted as appropriate substrates for electrodeposition of polypyrrole particulate structures and high yield synthesis of PPy was observed on them. Smooth PPy/MWCNT nanocomposite films were obtained on Cu electrodes by decreasing the potential scan rate. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that MWCNTs increased the thermal stability of polypyrrole.
