Synthesis and characterization of polymer 1dimensional silver nanocomposites

Abstract

Nanocomposites of AgNWs doped polyaniline, polyvinyl alcohol and polystyrene have been synthesized. The weight percentage of AgNWs varied from 5% to 20% in all the polymers. The formation of composites was assessed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Optical and electrical properties were assessed by Photoluminescence, DC conductivity studies and Impedance analysis studies. newline
