Polypyrrole-based emerging and futuristic hybrid nanocomposites.

Polypyrrole-based hybrid nanocomposites have drawn much attentiveness of the researchers and scientists owing to their superior and much improved physical, chemical and biomedical properties. This review article outlines the important synthesis strategies, properties and conduction mechanism of polypyrrole-based hybrid nanocomposites. Moreover, an exhaustive account of their diverse applications in energy storage devices, electronic devices, sensors, electromagnetic interference shielding and microwave absorption, actuators, protective or anti-corrosion coatings, catalyzed photo-degradation of dyes, removal of other environmental pollutants and biomedical field has been overviewed. At last, future prospects and challenges of polypyrrole-based hybrid nanocomposites have been highlighted precisely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
