Fabrication of polyaniline on silane-functionalized zinc oxide
Abstract
© 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. In this study, polyaniline on silane-functionalized zinc oxide was fabricated. The zinc oxide particles were functionalized by soaking in silane aniline-ethanol solution. Afterwhich, the polyaniline was polymerized on the grafted silane aniline molecules using oxidative polymerization. The FTIR spectra showed vibrational peaks associated with the silane aniline molecules and grafted polyaniline. The sampled soaked in silane aniline coupling agent showed FTIR peaks associated with grafted silane aniline. The sample soaked for one minute showed FTIR peaks associated with ortho-coupled aniline units that is formed during the start of aniline polymerization. The sample soaked for three minutes showed FTIR peaks that is broader compared to others due to ring vibration in long polymeric chain.
