Description
Summary:Polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles were synthesized using a stabilizer—poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The obtained nanostructures of conducting polymers were characterized using advanced analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). These comprehensive analyses provided valuable insights into the morphology, size distribution, and spectral characteristics of the nanostructures, contributing to a deeper understanding of their potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology.
