Cost effective synthesis of MWCNTs/PANI composites

Abstract

A simple and cost effective solution mixing approach for synthesis of MWCNTs/PANI is presented in this work. The different concentrations of MWCNT by wt. (0.05%, 0.15% and 0.25%) were mixed in PANI solution by stirring route. This composite has been characterized using Raman and Scanning electron microscopy. The SEM micrographs clearly indicate the uniform dispersion of MWCNT in PANI matrix with significant interaction between them. It was found that the 0.25% by wt MWCNT in PANI matrix shows much higher electrical current and crystallite size as compared to other prepared samples.
