Structural, Mechanical and Electrical Characterization of Polypyrrole/ Poly(methyl methacrylate)/Fly ash Composite
The polypyrrole-poly(methyl methacrylate)-fly ash (PPy/ PMMA/FA) composites were formed by in-citu polymerization of pyrrole in ammonium persulfate and PMMA latex medium in presence of fly ash. The structural characterization of the composite was carried out using XRD, SEM and FTIR techniques. A homogenous semicrystalline structure of the composite has been observed. The DC conductivity studies of the composite reveal that the conductivity increases with increasing FA component upto 35%. The microhardness of the composite is found to depend on the FA and PMMA components. Satisfactory conductivity of PPy+35%FA composite is exhibited when PMMA is mixed in the range of 5 to 10 %. The studies suggest that the addition of PMMA to PPy and FA composite can give rise to a conducting polymer composite with good mechanical stability.
