Abstract

Conducting polymers and its composites found to be promising candidate for the medical and electroanalytical application in various fields. Significant functional exercise on Montmorillonite clay proves wide appliction in food additive , for antibacterial activity against tooth and gum decay, as sorbent for nonionic, anionic, and cationic dyes, and the use as catalyst in organic synthesis. Polypyrrole and Montmorillonite clay are used in the synthesis of
Polypyrrole/ Montmorillonite nanocomposites by chemical oxidative method. Obtained PPy/montmorillonite composites are characterised by UV, FTIR and morphology and composition analysis are also done by using FESEM and EDX. Biological activities of the Polypyrrole/Montmorillonite conducting polymers composites (CPs) are studied by using the Bacillus, E.Coli, Pseudomonae as a bacterial cultures. PPY/7.5% MMT composite show antibacterial activity for the Bacillus,bacteria but for the E.Coli, Pseudomonaeno no activity
