Abstract

The Present work reports the synthesis of poly2-ethyleaniline (PEANI) by oxidative polymerization of 2-ethyleaniline and its composite with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via in situ chemical synthesis route (simultaneous polymerization and precipitation). PEANI and its nanocomposite were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis-differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform-infrared. The structural confirmation of the polymer was confirmed by FT-IR which shows strong absorption starting at ~1,600 cm−1 and extended to near-IR, Attributed to the presence of free carrier in the polymer. XRD of Polymer shows large X-rays peaks indicating that the material is rather amorphous with a certain degree of crystallinity where as XRD of PEANI-Au nanocomposite confirms the incorporation of AuNPs in composite. The TEM image showed the formation of PEANI-AuNPs core shell nanostructure. From TGA–DSC studies it was confirmed that the decomposition of the polymer in the composite is lowered by 254 °C as compare to PEANI alone, resulting in weak structure. Whereas I–V characteristics’ shows that the composite has about 10 % lower conductance values than the polymer alone.
