Title A name given to the resource Thermal diffusivity study of one-pot synthesised polypyrrole silver nanocomposite by thermal lens method Subject The topic of the resource EDAX spectrum; Polypyrrole; Thermal diffusivity Description An account of the resource We are reporting the results of our exploration of the thermal lens method to determine the thermal diffusivity of Ppy and Ppy/Ag nanocomposites synthesised by simple, cost effective in situ chemical oxidative polymerisation. EDAX spectrum confirms the presence of silver in the samples. Raman analysis shows that the increase in the concentration of silver in composite results in an increase in the conjugation length of the samples. We have adopted the dual-beam pump-probe technique to determine the thermal diffusivity of polypyrrole and polypyrrole silver nanocomposite with varying silver concentrations. We report suppression of thermal diffusivity of polypyrrole with the addition of a small concentration of silver and an enhanced thermal diffusivity with an increase in the concentration of silver with ethanol as the base fluid. Increased thermal diffusivity of the samples makes them suitable for use as coolants. 2022 Elsevier Ltd Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Punnakkal V.S.; Francis F.; Pius M.; Santhi A.; Anila E.I.
