Nanocoating of natural cellulose fibers with conjugated polymer: hierarchical polypyrrole composite materials.

Astonishingly uniform polypyrrole nanocoating on morphologically complex cellulosic substances was achieved without disrupting the hierarchical network structures of individual cellulose fibers by means of polymerization-induced adsorption.
