'''Polypyrrole''' ('''PPy''') is an organic polymer obtained by oxidative  polymerization of [[pyrrole]]. It is a solid with the formula H(C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>2</sub>NH)<sub>n</sub>H. It is an intrinsically [[conducting polymer]], used in electronics, optical, biological and medical fields.<ref name=RussChemRev>{{cite journal | year = 1997 | title = Polypyrrole: a conducting polymer; its synthesis, properties and applications | journal = Russ.
