Polyaniline (PAni) Nanocomposites Containinganiline (Ani) Monomer and Hexanoic Acid (HA) Dopant were Successfullysynthesized by Using Chemical Oxidation Method. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)and Different Dimension of Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWNT) Have been Added Inorder to Improve the Dielectric Permeability and Magnetic Permittivityproperties of the Pani Nanocomposites. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Andultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectra Confirmed the Chemical Structure of Paninanocomposites. Conductivity and Magnetization Behavior were Investigated Byresistivity Meter and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Microwave Absorptionstudies were Carried out by Microwave Vector Network Analyzer (MVNA) from 0.5to 18 Ghz. among all the Pani Nanocomposites, Pani Nanocomposites with MWNT (D = 10-2- Nm, l = 5-15 μm) Shows Agood Reflection Loss (RL = -58 Db) at 7 Ghz with a Sharp and Narrow Peak due Tohigher Values of Magnetization (0.074 Emu/g) Andmoderate Electrical Conductivity (1.11 x 10-2 S/cm)
Hexanoic acid (HA) doped PAni nanocomposites which containing aniline (Ani) as monomer was synthesized via template free method. Dielectric (titanium dioxide, TiO2) and magnetic (different dimension of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT)) materials have been added to improve the dielectric and magnetic behavior of the PAni nanocomposites. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis confirmed the chemical structure of doped-PAni. Morphology study and thermal behavior of the PAni nanocomposites have been investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), respectively. PAni nanocomposites with longer length and bigger diameter of MWNT possess the highest conductivity (1.51 × 10−2 S/cm) compared with those shorter length and smaller diameter PAni nanocomposites. Microwave absorption study was investigated by microwave vector network analyzer (MVNA) from 0.5 to 18 GHz. Among all the PAni nanocomposites, PAni nanocomposites with MWNT (φ = 10–20 nm, l = 5–15 μm) possess a sharp and narrow peak with high absorption (RL = −58 dB) at 7 GHz. In this study, it is observed that PAni nanocomposites with longer length and smaller diameter exhibit the largest amount of entangled nanorods/nanotubes that will eventually enhance the heterogeneity of the nanocomposites. Thus, it significantly induces the space charge polarization along the PAni backbone and indicates the strongest microwave absorption.
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.
