Application of PANI / MnO 2 Nanocomposite in Ultrasonics

Polyaniline/MnO2 nanocomposite with improved thermal stability was prepared by using chemical oxidation technique. The prepared products were also characterized by FT-IR, Transmission electron Microscopy and TGA thermogram. FTIR absorption band at 415 cm-1 indicated the presence MnO2 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. TEM showed the MnO2 particles are in nanorange with the average diameter of 20 nm. Thermo gravimetric analysis clearly indicated the increased in thermal stability of nanocomposite than the pure PANI.
