Abstract :

Polymerization of pyrrole using various methods like pyrrole using electrochemical method and UV Photo irradiation has been investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to study the internal structure, material morphology, chemical nature of conducting polymers. The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of the Polypyrrole, Their behavior resemble the metallic conductors.
