In present work, polyindole-Nb2O5 nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized by various analytical methods. Niobium oxide nanoparticles were prepared by sol gel method. Polyindole and Nb2O5 nanocomposites was prepared by chemical polymerization method and the morphology of Nb2O5 nanoparticles, polyindole and the nanocomposite was studied by SEM. The chemical structure of Nb2O5 nanoparticle, polyindole and the nanocomposite was characterized by UV-visible, FTIR and NMR spectroscopic techniques. Elemental composition and chemical character was analyzed by the use of EDAX technique. The X-ray powder diffraction technique was used to determine the degree of
crystallinity and crystallite sizes. Thermal analysis such as TGA and DSC showed that the conducting polymers in the nanocomposites were stable even at high temperatures.
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.
