ABSTRACT

Polyaniline (PANI) has been paying substantial attention because of its exclusive electrical, optical, and opto-electrical properties as well as its simple preparation method and the most excellent environmental stability among the conducting polymer. There are several potential applications of PANI in electronics, energy storage, anticorrosion coatings, catalyst chemical sensing, biochemistry, electronics devices, electrostatic dissipation, etc. [1]. However, most of the conducting polymers are only slightly soluble in a few solvents and it becomes difficult to process it in a continuous film.Composite materials are the focus of interest of many research groups nowadays aiming to obtain the materials with enhanced mechanical and anticorrosive properties. Several reports on the synthesis of the nanocomposites of PANI with WO3, ZnO, Fe2O3,PbO2 or Au nanoparticles have been described [2-5].
