Poly(styrene-co-butylacrylate)/polypyrrole-expanded graphite (EG) core shell nanocomposites were synthesized by mini-emulsion polymerization. The particles were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDX,TEM and I-V analysis. TEM and SEM analysis reveals core shell morphology of composite particles. Composite particles show higher dc-electrical conductivity compared to bare PSBA/PPy core-shell nanocomposites. The responsive capability of the nanocomposites towards methanol vapor was systematically investigated using a simple two probe configuration. The core-shell particles could detect methanol vapor of 100 ppm concentration with good response and recovery time. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
