Stable polypyrrole dispersions were prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in an aqueous medium containing different anionic salts - sodium benzoate, potassium hydrogen phthalate and sodium hydrogen succinate. Results of the elemental analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed that the anionic salts are incorporated in the conducting polymers and functioned as the dopants. The retardation of pyrrole polymerization was observed when a certain amount of the salt was used as dopant. SEM images of polypyrrole dispersions indicate large spherical particles (150-180nm). The conductivity of polypyrrole composites has also been investigated.
