In this research, polypyrrole was successfully synthesized in aqueous and aqueous/non-aqueous media by using ferric chloride (FeCl3) as an oxidant in the presence of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBSNa) as surfactant. The nanocomposite was characterized in terms of morphology, particle size and chemical structure. The product was characterized in terms of morphology with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and chemical structure by fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The results indicated that the morphology, yield and particle size of products are dependent on the type of solution.
