Polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical oxidative micro-emulsion polymerization of pyrrole monomer in the presence of ammonium persulphate (APS) as oxidant with varying sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) surfactant concentration. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) results show the shape change of PPy nanoparticles from spherical to elongated shape when SOS concentration is increased above its second critical micelle concentration CMC-II (0.2 M). UV-visible spectroscopy studies show formation of polaron band due to doping of PPy by SOS. A decrease of optical band gap energy (E-g) is also observed with increasing SDS concentration. The polymerization has been proposed from the thermodynamic consideration of micelle stability to explain the properties of PPy nanoparticles. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics show an enhancement of current of PPy nanopartides with increasing SDS dopant concentration. Thermo-gravimetric (TGA) analysis shows increase of thermal stability of PPy nanoparticles with increasing dopant concentration. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
