title: Starch-assisted synthesis of polypyrrole nanowires by a simple electrochemical approach.
abstract: Starch, one of the most commonly used polysaccharides, has been adopted for the first time as morphology-directing agent to the electrochemical synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) nanowires on various electrodes.
