Abstract
Nanocomposite and composite PTh/Al2O3 nanoparticles were prepared in aqueous media by using sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBSNa) as a surfactant. Al2O3 nanoparticles were coated with PTh using a chemical oxidative polymerization method. The chemical structure and surface morphology of PTh/Al2O3 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the type of surfactant and Al2O3 influence the size and homogeneity of particles.
