A novel nanostructured conducting copolymer system based on poly(m-toluidine-co-m-aminoacetophenone) and silver nanoparticles coated by dodecyl benzenesulphonic acid

摘要

Nanocomposites of functional polyaniline derivatives have been synthesized successfully by using chemical oxidative polymerization of m-toluidine and m-aminoacetophenone with silver nanocolloids coated by dodecyl benzenesulphonic acid. The nanocomposites were characterized by UV-Vis FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and conductivity measurements. SEM analysis has revealed that the silver nanoparticles were well dispersed and embedded in the copolymer matrix. The XRD pattern showed partially crystalline structure of nanocomposite.
