Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have showed the significant applications in the fields of packing, energy, safety, defense, sensors, EMI shielding, optoelectronics etc. Tungsten trioxide nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by propellant chemistry technique using Azadirachta indica extracts as a fuel/surfactant. Conducting polyaniline (PANI) was prepared using aniline monomer and suitable polymerizing agents. Ex-situ nanocomposites were prepared by mixing the different weight percentage of NPs into PANI matrix. For the better dispersion of NPs in to the matrix, solvents like Dodesyl benzene sulphonic acid (DBSA) and Camphor sulphonic acid (CSA) were used. Crystal structure, morphological features and their dielectric response at room temperature were reported. Electromagnetic Shielding (EMI) studies were compared between the PANI-WO3 composites prepared by CSA and DBSA solvents. Composites showed worthy shielding response of 80 dB with CSA and 38 dB with DBSA. Here, the protonation of the solvent and the dispersion of NPs with the polymer matrix matters for the shielding efficiency. Hence, prepared materials are suitable for packing of electronic devices which provides the better EMI shielding and also suppress the heat through effective absorption of EM waves of X-Band.
