Abstract

Multifunctional, highly flexible 3D polypyrrole (PPy) foam is fabricated via a simple electrodeposition method by using nickel foam as the template. The 3D PPy foam has a unique interior structure and is robust enough to manipulate directly.

Keywords: highly flexible; multifunctional; polymer foams; sensors; supercapacitors.
