Abstract

AbstractWe report the electropolymerization and characterization of polypyrrole films doped with poly(m‐aminobenzene sulfonic acid (PABS) functionalized single‐walled nanotubes (SWNT) (PPy/SWNT‐PABS). The negatively charged water‐soluble SWNT‐PABS served as anionic dopant during the electropolymerization to synthesize PPy/SWNT‐PABS composite films. The synthetic, morphological and electrical properties of PPy/SWNT‐PABS films and chloride doped polypyrrole (PPy/Cl) films were compared. Characterization was performed by cyclic voltammetry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. SEM and AFM images revealed that the incorporation of SWNT‐PABS significantly altered the morphology of the PPy. Cyclic voltammetry showed improved electrochemical properties of PPy/SWNT‐PABS films as compared to PPy/Cl films. Raman Spectroscopy confirmed the presence of SWNT‐PABS within composite films. Field effect transistor (FET) and electrical characterization studies show that the incorporation of the SWNT‐PABS increased the electronic performance of PPy/SWNT‐PABS films when compared to PPy/Cl films. Finally, we fabricated PPy/SWNT‐PABS nanotubes which may lead to potential applications to sensors and other electronic devices.
