Polypyrrole (PPy) is a highly practicing conductive polymer with the potentiality to modify conductivity, sensitivity, and applicability to blend or coated over different materials to offer a wide range of properties, especially for piezoresistive sensors that are highly in demand in smart electronics. The in-situ polymerization is a promising method to prepare PPy coating and composites for cost-effective reliable sensors fabrication that is highly ambitious, for healthcare and rehabilitation purposes with numerous possibilities for modifications. PPy preparation with in-situ polymerization method is still in a great challenge to get desired outcomes so many types of research come out, however not enough records in analysis basis. This research is focused on analyzing different possibilities of PPy with an in-situ polymerization process to get different outcomes related to the change conductivity and sensitivity of PPy coated sensors. As the outcome, this review gives some inspirational ideas to develop high-performance PPy coatings enhancing its conductivity and sensitivity for piezoresistive sensor fabrications.
