Abstract

Conducting polymers are a special class of polymers which allow electrical conductivity to pass through them. Polypyrrole
is a promising conducting polymer with applications in different field of research. In this work, polypyrrole is synthesized
in different environments such as variable solvent, oxidants, and oxidant ratio. The synthesized samples were collected and
dried in an air oven. They were characterized using advance analytical techniques such as UV-Visible spectroscopy, scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity of the samples
was obtained using a four-in-line DC electrical conductivity meter. All the samples were found to exhibit the characteristic peaks
of polypyrrole in their UV-visible and FTIR spectra. The electrical conductivity study reveals their electrically semi-conducting
nature.
