PANi- ZnO Nanocomposites: Synthesis and Characterization

Films of polyaniline (PANi) and PANi‐ ZnO nanocomposites have been synthesized by spin coating technique. Fourier transform infrared and UV‐Vis spectroscopic studies of PANi and PANi‐ ZnO nanocomposite films indicated the presence of interaction between nano ZnO particles and molecular chains of PANi. The resistivity measurement shows that molecular chain constitution of polyaniline is the most important carrier in polyaniline‐ nano‐ZnO composite.
