Studies on polyaniline and colloidal TiO_2 composites

摘要

This study deals with the various aspects of incorporation of colloidal TiO_2 in polyaniline during the electrochemical polymerization of aniline, aiming to study the effect of photoconducting inorganic semiconductor on the thermal stability and potential application of a new composite, as revealed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size analysis, electronic spectra and thermal analysis. The particle size fo TiO_2 has increased during incorporation in polyaniline matrix due to the formation of the composite. It is possible to achieve 80.6/100 of TiO_2 incoporation in the polyaniline matrix by using colloidal TiO_2.
