Preparation and Characterization of Poly-amide/ZnO Nanocomposites

A novel nanocomposite was fabricated using zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles modified with۳-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH۵۵۰) as a coupling agent. Poly(benzimidazole-amide)(PBIA۳a) was synthesized through the polymerization reaction of ۱,۴-bis(۵-amino-۱Hbenzimidazol-۲-yl) benzene (۱a) with terephthalic acid (۲a), serving as the polymer matrix.The PBIA/ZnO nanocomposites were characterized using Fourier Transform InfraredSpectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning ElectronMicroscopy (FE-SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). FE-SEM and TEManalyses demonstrated that the modified ZnO nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed withinthe polymer matrix.
