Synthesis of Polyaniline/Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Intercalated Graphite Oxide Composites

Abstract

The Polyaniline-poly(vinyl alcohol)-intercalated graphite oxide (GO) composites were synthesized through in-situ polymerization methods. The characterizations were illuminated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry(CV) and thermal analysis(TGA), respectively. TGA shows that composites have stable thermal properties. CV curves show charge-transport processes within the film are diffusion-controlled. The new composites reveal the potential application in the future.
