Abstract: One dimensional Tetraaniline nanorods have been synthesized by interfacial polymerization method using N-phenyl-1, 4-phenylediamine as monomer (NPPD), Ammonium persulphate (APS) as an oxidant in toluene/water biphasic medium. As synthesized Tetraaniline nanostructures have been characterized by a range of spectroscopic as well as microscopic techniques such as UV-Visible, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The spectroscopic results indicated that formation of Tetraaniline nanostructures. The SEM images clearly reveals the morphology of as prepared Tetraaniline were critically depends on molar ratios of monomer to oxidant.
