Abstract The polymerization process in a solution was examined by SAXS and cryo-TEM in the case of chemical polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solution using sodium cellulose sulfonate (SCS) and FeCl3 as oxidizing agents. Observations with SAXS and cryo-TEM indicated the formation of micelle of SCS in SCS + water system. By adding FeCl3 in the solution, large spherical aggregates were formed as revealed by cryo-TEM, which is considered to be a precursor for the polymer spherical particles produced with a constant diameter.
