Simple in situ chemical oxidation method was employed to prepare different molar of HCl doped DL−PLA/PANI composites using AnHCl as precursor. Surface morphology, ATR−FTIR, UV–Visible, and band gap were studied. PANI nanowires with different diameter and smooth surface were observed for composites. The lowest direct band gap was found to be 1.68 eV for 2 (M) HCl doped DL−PLA/PANI. DC conductivity at room temperature was measured and followed the ohmic behaviour. The calculated highest DC conductivity at room temperature was found to be 0.1628 × 10−2 (S/cm) for 2 (M) HCl doped DL−PLA/PANI. Temperature variation (70−300 K) DC conductivity without magnetic field of as prepared composites was analysed using linear four probe techniques and showed semiconducting nature.

Compacted polyaniline (PANI)/Layered silicate nanocomposites have been successfully prepared by simple in situ, core-shell, and ex situ polymerization routes using AnHCl as a predecessor through chemical oxidation method. The structure, chemical groups, electronic transition and properties were investigated by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, UV Visible, DC electrical conductivity, TGA, and DSC. The XRD results reveals that HCl-treated Cloisite 20A, and PANI-ES/Cloisite 20A nanocomposites are delaminated. Flake-like morphologies were observed in Cloisite 20A and HCl-treated Cloisite 20A, whereas different rate of compacted fibrous morphologies of prepared PANI-ES/Cloisite 20A nanocomposites were observed as evident from SEM images. The Si-O FTIR band position does not change even after HCl treatment of Cloisite 20A, but different FTIR peaks positions of PANI-ES/Cloisite 20A nanocomposites were shifted from pure PANI-ES peaks after using Cloisite 20A nanoclays. UV-Visible spectra indicated the increment of charge carrier within the PANI-ES/Cloisite 20A nanocomposites compared to the pure one. The prepared nanohybrids showed significantly improved thermal property compared to pristine PANI-ES as clear from TGA and DSC analysis. The highest DC electronic conductivity of nanocomposite prepared by core-shell route is found to be 5.12 S/cm using linear four probe techniques. In addition, the charge transport mechanism was understood with and without loading Cloisite 20A in PANI-ES. The conductivity data supported the temperature-dependence relationship σ(T) = σ0.exp[-To/T)1/4] and followed characteristic of three-dimensional variable-range hopping (3D‒VRH) mechanism. In addition, we were discussed the response of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas with polyaniline based sensor materials.

Polymer composites synthesized in the present work have been studied extensively. Polymer composites are investigated using sophisticated analytical tools. Electron microscopy was used to study the surface morphology by SEM/FESEM and dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix by HRTEM. The structural details, i.e., crystallite size, crystallinity, types of nano structure were studied by X-ray diffraction. H1-NMR, ESI-MS and FTIR have been used to elucidate chemical structure of synthesised monomers. The conformational variations in the polymeric materials have been studied using vibrational spectroscopy employing Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy was used to study the optical properties of the monomers, and as-prepared polymeric samples. The DC conductivity measurement was carried out to study the electronic properties and charge transport mechanisms of the prepared polymeric samples. The gas sensing response was found by electrical measurement. Thermal study has been used to study the stability of prepared materials.

Inorganic acids (HCl, H2SO4, and H3PO4) doped-PMMA/PANI composites are prepared by in-situ technique via oxidation-polymerization process. Different techniques such as XRD, FTIR, UV-Visible, four-probe method are used to characterize the composite. Presence of different chemical group of the doped composites is analysed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopic analysis. Charge carrier behaviour of the doped composite is analyzed by UV-Visible spectroscopy. Band gap (Eg) of the doped composites is determined from UV-Visible absorption analysis using Tauc expression. The estimated direct band gap energy (Eg) is found to be 1.93 eV (for HCl doped PMMA/PANI composite), 1.19 eV (for H2SO4 doped PMMA/PANI composite), and 1.71 eV (for H3PO4 doped PMMA/PANI composite), respectively.

Different inorganic acids like HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 and H3PO4-doped based DL-PLA/PANI-ES composites were synthesized by in-situ chemical oxidation polymerization technique using liquid aniline as precursors. The doped composite have observed fibril-like morphology with different average sized diameter (178 nm for HCl doped composite, 162 nm (H2SO4 doped composite), 153 nm (H3PO4 doped composite) and 163 nm (HNO3 doped composite), respectively. Analysis of presence of functional groups and other chemical groups of as prepared composites was done by FTIR experiment in ATR mode. The optical (direct) band gap was estimated from UV-Visible absorption spectra. The estimated band gap values are to be 160 eV, 1.37 eV, 1.46 eV, and 1.69 eV for HCl, HNO3, H2SO4 and H3PO4-doped DL-PLA/PANI-ES composite, respectively. The electrical conduction mechanism of HCl-, H2SO4- and H3PO4-doped DL-PLA/PANI-ES composites were taken to study the conduction mechanism in detail in the low temperature regime (77-300 K) with and without applied of the magnetic field. Different models such as variable range hopping (VRH) and Arrhenius model were taken to explain the conduction mechanism of as prepared composites. In the Mott type VRH model, the density of states at the Fermi level, which is constant in the temperature range of 77-300 K were estimated. In the absence of magnetic field, DC conductivity of HCl-, H2SO4- and HNO3-, H3PO4- doped DL-PLA/PANI-ES composite was measured. Also, magnetoresistance (MR) was measured at room temperature for as prepared doped DL-PLA/PANI-ES composites and showed negative MR. In addition, we were discussed the response of hydrogen (H2) gas with polyaniline-based sensor materials.
