Description :
Initially Aniline(A), O-toluidine(OT) & m-Nitroaniline(MNA) terpolymer was synthesized in the laboratory employing free radical oxidative polymerisation technique. Nanocomposite based on graphene oxide (GO) and AOTMNA terpolymer have been obtained using molecular dispersion doping method. Uniformly dispersed terpolymer in solution phase got incorporated into the composite. The new nanocomposite obtained was characterised by FTIR & SEM studies. Thermal properties were investigated to understand the thermal stability of the newly synthesised nanocomposite. The composite have shown higher thermal stability in comparison with pure terpolymer. SEM studies proved the dispersion of graphene oxide nanotubes in the polymer matrix. Such terpolymer composite may be investigated for its various applications in light of toxic metal ion abetment and photocatalytic activities.
