Abstract

Polypyrrole is synthesized and doped with Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid. The doped Polypyrrole with Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid is intercalated into the layers of Montmorillonite clay successfully by in situ polymerization. The structural properties of synthesized doped Polypyrrole and intercalated doped Polypyrrole were studied by XRD analysis. The crystallinity of intercalated doped Polypyrrole into the layers of Montmorillonite clay is confirmed by means of X-rays diffraction studies, which is more than the doped Polypyrrole. Enhanced d-spacing of Montmorillonite confirmed that doped Polypyrrole is interclated into the layers of Montmorillonite clay at nanoscale. The scanning electron micrographs also confirm the formation of dual phase of platelet as well as of flaky structure of intercalated doped Polypyrrole. Temperature dependant conductivity showed three dimensional variable ranges hopping model. Activation energy, density of states and hopping length are calculated and found to be influenced by intercalating Doped Polypyrole into the layers of Montmorillonite clay.
