Encapsulation of Polypyrrole Chains Inside the Framework of an Ordered Mesoporous Carbon

Summary: This paper reports a facile route to fabricate high‐surface area hybrid carbon‐polymer nanocomposites following a template technique. The method presented here allows large amounts of polymer to be deposited inside one of the pore systems of a highly ordered carbon, while the other is kept empty. Such prepared composite has large polymer loadings (≈50%), high surface area (≈1 000 m² · g^?1), and a uniform porosity made up of mesopores.
