Abstract

The nanocomposites of doped Polyaniline (PANI) with ZnO-TiO2 nanoparticles have been prepared by in-situ polymerization method. The structural properties of synthesized PANI and PANI/ZnO-TiO2 were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. XRD pattern show that PANI is intercalated into the layers of ZnO-TiO2 successfully and thus the degree of crystallinity increases due to crystalline nature of ZnO-TiO2. FTIR analysis indicated that there is a strong interaction between ZnO-TiO2 nanoparticles and PANI. Electronic properties (Dielectric and Conductivity) of PANI and PANI/ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposite have been investigated between frequency ranges from 20Hz to 01MHz, higher dielectric constants and dielectric losses of PANI/ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposites were found. As the content of ZnO-TiO2 increased, the dielectric constant and loss also increased. The value of dielectric constant for all samples is very high at low frequency but decreases with increase in frequency. Synthesis of PANI/ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposite materials with a large dielectric constant is promising for charge storage devices applications.
