Abstract

Gamma radiation was successfully utilized to formulate conducting polyaniline/glycidyl methacrylate containing TiO2 [(PANI/GMA)-TiO2]. The pattern of X-ray diffraction of the produced polymers indicated the existence of TiO2 inside the composite, with peaks connected to the TiO2 centred at 2ϴ = 25.3°, 27.5°, 37°, 38°, 41.37°, 48.1°, 54.26°, and 55.2°. The interaction between TiO 2 and PANI/GMA caused the distinctive FTIR peaks of PANI to shift to a higher wavenumber in [(PANI/ GMA)-TiO2] nanocomposites. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to evaluate these composites’ morphological and structural aspects. The thermal stability tests utilizing thermal gravimetric analysis demonstrated that the inclusion of TiO2 leads to enhancing thermal stability. The electrical conductivity of the material as determined by the LCR Meter was around 10-3 (S/cm), indicating that it might be used as an electro-conductive substance.
