Abstract:

Hollow polypyrrole nanospheres were successfully prepared in a Span80/PEG400/H2O(PEG=polyethy-lene glycol) niosome system. The formation and morphology of the nanospheres vary with the concentrations of pyrrole monomer, salt and Span80. The shell thickness of the nanospheres increases gradually with monomer content. NaCl can promote the formation of the nanospheres. The formation mechanism of the nanospheres was discussed.
