Abstract
Thin films of polyaniline (PANi) and PANi–Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposites have been synthesized by a spin-coating technique. The ZnO powder of particle size 50–60 nm was synthesized by sol–gel technique and the polyaniline was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline. The nanocomposite films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV–Vis spectroscopy, and four probe technique, and the results were compared with polyaniline films.
