A polypyrrole (PPy) has been a subject of many studies because it exhibits relatively high electrical conductivity, good environmental stability and versatility of synthesis. Pyrrole (Py), the monomer of PPy, has been polymerized via chemically oxidative polymerization in the presence of an oxidant...
