Polyanilines are synthesized by free radical chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline & o-toluidine using ammonium persulphate as an oxidant in protonic acid medium. These polymers have been introduced into polystyrene sulphonic acid (PSSA) in 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 compositions for the preparation of composite materials. The composite samples so obtained are thermally characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, and FTIR spectra. The incorporation of polymer in PSSA has been endorsed by FTIR analysis. TGA data reveals that the (Polyaniline/Polystyrene sulphonic acid) PANI/PSSA (2:1) and (Poly o-toluidine/Polystyrene sulphonic acid) POT/PSSA (2:1) composites show better thermal stability than their 1:1 and 1:2 counterparts. Steric hindrance of -CH 3 group present in ortho position and sulphonic acid group of PSSA affects the thermal behaviour of composites. Two-step transitions are clearly reported from the DSC thermograms of polyanilines/PSSA composites and non-reversing chemical cross-linking reaction was further confirmed by X-ray diffraction and DSC thermograms.
