TI  - Fabrication of polypyrrole gas sensor for detection of NH3 using an oxidizing agent and pyrrole combinations: Studies and characterizations
N2  - The organic polymer known as Polypyrrole (Ppy) is synthesized when pyrrole monomers are polymerized. Excellent thermal stability, superior electrical conductivity, and environmental stability are all characteristics of Polypyrrole. Chemical oxidative polymerization was used to synthesize Ppy using Ferric chloride (FeCl3) as an oxidizing agent and surfactant CTAB in aqueous solution. Oxidant (FeCl3) to pyrrole varied in different molar ratios (2, 3, 4 and 5). It was found that increasing this ratio up to 4 increases PPy's conductivity. XRD, FTIR, and SEM were used to characterize Ppy. The conductive nature of Ppy was studied by I?V characteristics. The best conductive polymer is studied for the NH3 gas response.
