Abstract :
Carboxymethyl guar gum nanoparticles-based
conductive polyaniline/carboxymethyl guar gum (PANI/
CMGG) nanocomposites have been prepared first time by
chemical oxidative method by potassium dichromate as an
oxidant. The aim of the manuscript was to study the effect
of CMGG nanoparticles concentrations on PANI/CMGG
nanocomposites. Aniline has been polymerized in the
presence of CMGG nanoparticles dispersed solution in
acidic medium. Then nanocomposites have been characterized
by FTIR, XRD, SEM and TEM. The size of the
PANI/CMGG nanocomposites particles has been found in
the range of *90–280 nm. The results conclude that
conductivity of the nanocomposites inversely depends on
the concentration of the CMGG nanoparticles.
