o-toluidine was polymerized with the incorporation of different amount of titanium dioxide (TiO2) by chemical oxidation method using potassium perdisulphate as oxidizing agent. Comparative studies were carried out with different nanocomposites of varying compositions of TiO2/PoT against poly-o-toluidine (PoT). The resulting poly-o-toluidine – TiO2 nanocomposites (PoTTNCs) were characterized by UV–Vis and FTIR spectral studies. TiO2 has a deep influence in the crystallinity of PoT chains order in nanocomposite structure as observed in the XRD pattern. Electrochemical characterization studies were carried out to compare the improved performance of varied compositions of TiO2/PoT with respect to PoT in different atmospheres.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
