A Review on Synthesis and Characterisation of Polyaniline (PANI) Metal Oxide Nano Composites

Mamatha C, Santhosh Shenoy

Abstract: Polyaniline, commonly abbreviated as PANI or Pani-also known as aniline black - was discovered for the first time by Ferdinand Runge in 1834. PANI metal oxide composites can be synthesized using both chemical and electrochemical oxidative polymerization in acidic media. The most widely used initiators or oxidants for the chemical polymerization of aniline. Synthesised PANI composites were subjected to XRD, FTIR to understand the structural modifications. UV-Visible studies show the optical properties and dielectric studies shows the electrical conductivity variations with dopants.

Keywords: conducting polymer, nanocomposites, XRD
