In this study, polypyrrole/Ag2O nanocomposite was synthesized by a chemical oxidative method in the presence of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBSNa) as surfactant. Morphology of the nanocomposite was studied by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was shown that the obtained particles have spherical structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were used to characterize the structure of the obtained nanocomposites. The results indicate that, the morphology and particle size of product are dependent on the surfactant and metallic oxide.
