Preparation, Characterization And Application Of Polypyrrole-Chitosan Conducting Polymer Composite

Polypyrrole-chitosan (PPy-CHI) conducting polymer composite films were prepared by electropolymerization of pyrrole (Py) in the presence of chitosan (CHI) and ptoluenesulfonic acid sodium salt (P-TS) at room temperature. The PPy-CHI composite films were synthesized by electrochemical method on th...
