Abstract
Two Nonlinear optical (NLO) active Polypyrrole (PPy) powder samples have been synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization method at room temperature. NLO test confirms the occurrence of second harmonic generation (SHG) in the PPy samples. The presence of monomer and dopants in the polymer were detected by FTIR analysis. The crystallinity and thermal stability of PPy also investigated via XRD and TGA techniques. UV Spectra confirms the π-electron mobility in the samples..
