Abstract

Polypyrrole (PPy) have been prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization method. The different dicarboxylic acids such as Oxalic (OA), Adipic (AA), Phthalic (PA) acids were used as dopants. The Prepared polymers were characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD and Photoluminescence (PL) analysis. FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopic analyses confirm that the dopants have incorporated into the conducting polymer. The XRD patterns of the samples reveal that PA doped PPy have a significant crystalline nature. On comparing PL emission intensity of the polymers, PPy doped with PA shows better emission.
