Studies on AC Conductivity and Dielectric Properties of Conducting Polyaniline-AgO Nanocomposites

Polymers with metal oxide materials constitute a new class of polymer composite materials, that integrates materials science and technology. Chemical oxidation of aniline is carried out for PANI (PANI) and in-situ polymerization for PANI/AgO nanocomposite materials. Characterization tools such as XRD and SEM were used. The AC conductivity and dielectric behavior are investigated in the frequency range 100 to 2MHz at room temperature. It is observed that, the AgO nanoparticles in the PANI matrix have a greater influence on the AC conductivity and dielectrics.
