Abstract

A detailed study was conducted on the synthesis, characterizations, and properties of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/Mag-CTA nanocomposites. Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanocomposites were developed from a natural clay called Maghnite by improving the dispersion of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) matrices in organic clay sheets. However, the PEDOT/Mag-CTA nanocomposites have been characterized by different physico-chemical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and give the name of atomic force microscope (AFM), and scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). The results of the (XRD), (TEM) and (SEM) analysis confirm that the PEDOT has been inserted into the Mag-CTA interlayer, and the presence of clay in the polymer matrix results in a desired increase in thermal stability. Electrical conductivity measurements show a decrease in conductivity with increasing load ratio
