Abstract: Conducting Polymers and their nanocomposites have been known for a while and are used in diverse range of applications. This study involves the synthesis of Silica, PANI, Oxalic Acid nanocomposites conducting with n-type doping. Oxalic acid is used in chemical doping to enhance the conductivity of synthesized by oxidative polymerization method. These nanocomposites are characterized using various techniques such as FTIR and SEM analysis.
Keywords: Polyaniline (PANI), Conducting Polymers (CPs), Silica nanocomposites, Oxalic acid.
