| Abstract: |
| Gamma radiation was successfully utilized to formulate conducting polyaniline/glycidyl methacrylate containing TiO2 [(PANI/GMA)-TiO2]. The pattern of X-ray diffraction of the produced polymers indicated the existence of TiO2 inside the composite, with peaks connected to the TiO2 centered at 2ϴ = 25.3°, 27.5°, 37°, 38°, 41.37°, 48.1°, 54.26°, and 55.2°. The interaction between TiO2 and PANI/GMA caused the distinctive FTIR peaks of PANI to shift to a higher wavenumber in [(PANI/ GMA)-TiO2] nanocomposites. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the morphological and structural features of these composites (SEM). The thermal stability studies using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed that the introduction of TiO2 leads to increase the thermal stability. The electrical conductivity measured with the LCR Meter was around 10-3 S/cm, indicating that the material might be used as an electro-conductive material. Finally, P(ANI/GMA)-TiO2 nanocomposites have the potential to be used in a variety of industrial applications, such as solar cells and charge storage. |
