Investigation of Structural and Thermal Properties of Nanostructured PANI

In this paper, we report a preparation of (PANI) nanostructure by oxidative polymerisation in presence of HCl as do pant.The structural, morphological and thermal properties of as PANI was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer (DRS), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and gravimetric analysis (TGA).It is found that the morphology of PANI is fibril like shape with band gap of 2.74eV.Thermal conductivity of PANI nanostructure was calculated as a function of temperature.
