Polypyrrole/montmorillonite (PPy/MMT) particles were synthesized using an oxidative polymerization method. Then the particles were added into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as additives to prepare PPy/MMT/PMMA composite. The structures and properties of the composite were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and four–probe machine. The relationship between content of PPy/MMT and conductivity was analyzed. The result shows that the amount of PPy/MMT is a key factor for improving the conductivity of composite. Furthermore, dynamic mechanical (DM) properties of composite were studied. When the PPy/MMT content reach 0.2% of composite, the storage modulus, loss function modulus, dissipation factor get highest values.
