Summary: Polypyrrole (PPy) microtubes with an actinomorphic morphology are synthesized by a chemical method in the presence of an inclusion complex (IC) of mono 6‐deoxy‐6‐(2‐butenedinitrile‐2,3‐dimercapto sodium salt)]‐β‐cyclodextrin (6‐mnt‐β‐CD) with methyl orange (MO) as a dopant in aqueous solution. The morphologies of the obtained PPy were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the IC of 6‐mnt‐β‐CD with MO significantly affects the morphology of the resulting PPy.
The morphology of polypyrrole synthesized in the presence of 6‐mnt‐β‐CD/MO, determined by TEM.
