摘要: Polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles in polystyrene (PS) matrix were synthesized by emulsion polymerization using ferric sulfate, sodium dodecyl and n-amyl alcohol as an oxidant, emulsifier dopant, co-emulsifier, respectively. The content of PPy the composites varied from 14.11 to 34.63 wt%, calculated elemental analysis. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy images showed spherical nanopartciles with diameters 30–74 nm well dispersed PS matrix. It was found that thermal stability electrical conductivity PS/PPy increased increasing nanoparticles.
