Right: PPy-PEO composite nanofibers with an average size 96 ± 30 nm are synthesized by vapor phase polymerization of pyrrole over electrospun PEO-FeCl₃ fibers. The pyrrole monomer vapor difficulties into the nanofibers and is oxidatively polymerized by FeCl₃ into polypyrrole. Futher details can be found in the Communication By S. Nair, S. Natarajan, and S. H. Kim.
