SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION OF POLYANILINE/MULTI WALLED CARBON NANOTUBE NANOCOMPOSITE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR

Polyaniline (PANI) has a high potential due to its ease of synthesis, excellent environmental, thermal stability reversible control of its electrical properties, and one of the moreimportant conducting polymers due to its relatively facile processability. The preparation of nanocomposites involving the combination of Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) and conducting polymers has received considerable attention. A composite of polyaniline with multiwall-carbon nanotubes (PANi/MWCNTs) was synthesized by an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method. The PANI nanoparticles were synthesized chemically using aniline as the monomer and ammonium peroxydisulfate as the oxidant
