Polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites reinforced with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod and nano flower were fabricated by chemical oxidative polymerization method using an ammonium per-sulphate (APS, (NH4)2S2O8) as an oxidizing agent. The polymer nanocomposite were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The results were compared with pure as-prepared PPy. The SEM images of the nanocomposites show homogeneous dispersion characteristics and different morphologies of ZnO structures such as rod and flower-like shapes.  In the FTIR spectra, composite samples showed characteristic peaks of PPy shifted to higher positions confirmed the interfacial interactions between ZnO and PPy matrix.

Nanocomposite of copolymer of N-Methyl pyrrole (NMPy) and N, N-Dimethyl aniline (NDMA) doped with HCl was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization. APS was used as oxidant. The sample was characterized by FTIR, TGA, XRD and four probe method. FTIR confirms the formation of copolymer and its structure. XRD analysis shows the amorphous nature of polymer nanocomposite. The electrical conductivity of sample was measured by using four probe method. Size and surface morphology were demonstrated by SEM.

AgCl microparticle materials, with novel heart-like morphology, were successfully prepared by means of a simple solution phase route, in which a small amount of hydrochloric acid, ethylene and PVP were introduced to the conventional polyol process. The obtained microparticle materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis absorption spectrum. SEM images show that the obtained AgCl microparticle materials have heart-like morphology with an average diameter of 3 um. The influence of different reaction times on size and morphology of the microparticle materials were also investigated. A possible growth mechanism of AgCl microparticle materials has been proposed on the basis of experimental results and analysis. The as-prepared AgCl microparticle materials would find possible potential applications in photocatalytic fields.

Polyaniline (PANI) is synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization method. The, characterization were made using XRD (X-ray diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier transform spectroscopy), UV -vis (ultra-violet visible spectrophotometer) technique which confirms the synthesis of the Polyaniline. The surface morphology of Polyaniline was studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM).

A new nanocomposite, semiconducting polythiophene (PT) confined in mesoporous silica (SBA-15) was synthesized. PT was formed in the pores of SBA-15 by subsequent oxidative polymerization with FeCl3. Different techniques were used to characterize the nanocomposite formation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption/desorption analysis showed that the nanocomposite possesses mesoporous structure, and the residual pore volume of nanocomposite was significantly lower than that of pure empty SBA-15. Scan electron micrographs confirmed the presence of polythiophene inside pore channels of the host, and thermogravimetric analysis proved confinement effect in the channel system.

Polyvinyl alcohol- polypyrrole (PVA-PPy) nanocomposites with metal chlorides (FeCl3, NiCl2, CuCl2 and ZnCl2) have been synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization method. These synthesized nanocomposites are characterized by using FTIR, X-ray diffraction, Transition electron microscope (TEM) and Conductivity measurement. TEM exhibit that all of the composites have uniform sizes and morphologies.  The diameter of PVA/PPy nanocompsite is 58nm when the metals added to the PVA/PPy the diameters becomes smaller. The variation of electrical conductivity (log ?) with 1000/T for PVA/PPy nanocomposite with metal chlorides revealed that the increase in conductivity s at temperature (393K) with added metals can be attributed to the creation of induced charge carriers in PVA/PPy matrix

The flower-sphere molybdenum disulfide has been synthesized by reaction of Na2MoO4 and CS(NH2)2 with NH2OH·HCl or H2C2O4 as reductant. The microstructure and chemical composition of the product were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. XRD patterns showed that the molar ratio of Mo to S had a great effect on the purity of the product. When the molar ratio of Mo to S was 1:5, the product was nearly pure MoS2. SEM images showed that the particle size increased as the molar ratio of Mo to S reduced. The MoS2 microspheres had rough surfaces and were constructed with sheet-like structures in the two systems. But the product from the system of NH2OH·HCl as reductant has the bigger particle size, clearer petal-sheets, coarser surface and weaker agglomeration than that from the system H2C2O4 as reductant. The possible chemical reactions in hydrothermal systems were preliminarily discussed.
