The effect of low concentrations of polypyrrole on the structural, thermal, and dielectric characteristics of CMC/PPy blends

Abstract The current work aims to synthesize carboxymethyl cellulose/polypyrrole (CMC/PPy) blends with different PPy concentrations as promising for energy storage devices low cost and excellent chemical physical characteristics. structural dielectric characteristics of CMC/PPy were studied. FT-IR spectroscopy is utilized study the properties present blends, whereas are explored at frequency range 0.1 Hz−20 MHz. showed good homogeneity between CMC matrix a conductive filler. thermal behavior was also investigated using DSC, where stability improved after incorporating into host matrix. results indicated rise in parameters an increase content up 8 wt%. dependents. constant (ε′) AC electrical conductivity under enhanced by about 33% loss (ε″) values decreased from 3.4938 0.93071 10 kHz; this performance means that have possibility various applications, such sensors, batteries, capacitors.
