The blend nanocomposites were examined by FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA and electrical studies. The complexation of CuS with the polymer was confirmed by FTIR. The surface observed in the SEM image clarifies the uniformity in morphology. The XRD pattern reveals that the nanoparticle incorporated PPy and their blend showed a crystalline nature. TGA and conductivity studies indicated that the blend nanocomposites attain better thermal stability and conductivity than original polypyrrole and PPy/PVA blend.Read More
