Synthesis and Characterization of Polyaniline Cadmium Sulphide Nanocomposite via in Situ Polymerization

Abstract

Nanocomposite of conducting Polyaniline with CdS nanoparticles have been synthesized by In Situ polymerization method. A series of the Nanocomposite have been synthesized by varying the weight percentage of CdS (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 %) with the polymerization of aniline (monomer). PANI-CdS 5 % Nanocomposite was optimized sample with high conductivity. Crystalline nature and size of the particles have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction study. The particle size was found to be range from 53 nm to 400 nm. This has been confirmed from SEM images.
