This study describes the preparation of polypyrrole multiwall carbon nanotube (PPy/MWNT) composites by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. Various ratios of functionalized MWNTs are dispersed in the water, and PPy are then synthesized via in-situ chemical oxidative polymerization on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The morphology of the resulting complex nanotubes (MWNT-PPY) was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The conductivity of each composite showed a maximum in the temperature scale of 120 – 160 °C and then decreased dramatically with the increase of temperature. The resultant PPy/MWNT nanotubes enhanced electrical conductivity and thermal stability of nanocomposite compared to PPy which was strongly influenced by the feed ratio of pyrrole to MWNTs.

Functional floating bead (F-FB), prepared by anchoring the organic sulfonic acid on the surface of the blackberry-like structural FB, was used as both the inorganic substrate and the in situ dopant for the in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole to obtain the plypyrrole/functional floating bead (PPy/F-FB) nanocomposite material. The composites possess high electrical conductivity at room temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the thermal stability of PPy/F-FB composites was enhanced and these can be attributed to the retardation effect of sulfonic acid-functionalized FB as barriers for the degradation of PPy. The morphology of PPy/FB composites showed the well-defined blackberry-like morphology.

Poly (N-ethyl aniline)/Ag organic–inorganic composite has been synthesized by a single step in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method. The synthesis of Poly (N-ethyl aniline)/Ag nanocomposite has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet-Vis Spectroscopy (UV-visible), Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR) and FE-SEM investigations. XRD spectral study exhibited major diffraction in the range 20–80[Formula: see text] (2[Formula: see text]) and indicated the semicrystalline nature of poly (N-ethyl aniline)/Ag nanocomposite. Characteristic peaks in UV-visible and FTIR spectra of poly (N-ethyl aniline) switched to higher wave numbers in poly (N-ethyl aniline)/Ag nanocomposite. Peaks at 1789[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text], 1595[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text], 667[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] and 501[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] in FTIR spectrum confirmed the formation of poly (N-ethyl aniline)/Ag nanocomposite. FE-SEM photographs reported agglomerated granular particulate nature of poly (N-ethyl aniline)/Ag nanocomposite. Synthesized poly (N-ethyl aniline)/Ag nanocomposite exhibited a high response to humidity, good reproducibility and stability at room temperature. An appreciable response was shown in the presence of 40% humid atmosphere for up to successive four cycles. Composite sensitivity has been found to increase with the increasing concentration of humidity, at room temperature.

Aligned poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers and the nanoropes have been fabricated via a novel electrospinning technique. And then conducting polyaniline (PANI) was coated on the surfaces of the nanoropes using an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method. It is found that the conductivity increased drastically at first and then tended to be saturation in the polymerization process. In addition, the flexibility and stretchability of the composites have been measured: With an increase of bending curvature and tensile strain, the conductivity rose at the beginning because the fibers among the nanoropes get tight; and then the conductivity dropped, which may due to the PANI layer broke and becomes discontinuous with the adding stress.

In this paper,ZnO/PANI transparent conductive film has been prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization, APS as an oxidant. The conductivity and transmittance of ZnO/PANI was measured. It has been investigated of the effects of reaction conditions and the doping component on conductivity, transmissivity and adhesion. With the increase of doping ZnO, the conductivity of ZnO/PANI transparent conductive film, transmittance and adhesion reduced. The optimal conditions is that the concentration of An, APS and PVA are 0.75 mol / L, 0.8 mol / L and 0.5wt%, respectively.
