This study was carried out to investigate the electrodeposition of polypyrrole/cardanol (PPy/CD) composite, targeting for good electrochemical characteristics and improved mechanical properties of the film. Composites of PPy/CD were grown on gold surface potenciodynamically and potenciostatically in different concentrations of CD and Py in acetonitrile. The characterization of the composite was followed using infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The composite showed the incorporation of CD in PPy morphology globular and also in the form of nodules, with grains of 1-2 nm. The composites grown by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry showed anodic charges of approximately 2.9 and 5.7 mC, respectively.
