Preparation of Polyaniline/Polystyrene Nanocomposites Using Various Surfactants in Aqueous Media

فاقد چكيده

Polyaniline/Polystyrene (PAn/PSt) nanocomposite was prepared in aqueous solution by using Potassium iodate and ammonium persulfate as an oxidant in the presence of various surfactants such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and hydroxypropylcellulose respectively. The PAn/PSt nanocomposite was characterized in terms of conductivity, surface morphology, yield, particle size and chemical structure. The results indicate that the surface morphology, yield, particle size and conductivity of products are dependent on the type of surfactant. Also, the chemical structure of obtained product was determined by FTIR spectroscopy.
