The present endeavor focuses on the unusual interactions between polyaniline and graphene oxide (PANi–GO) which radically affects the properties of nanocomposites as it is an emerging material for many potential applications. A series of nanocomposites have been synthesized by varying the weight percentage of highly nonconducting GO with respect to aniline which exhibit superior properties in terms of shelf life, processability and conductivity due to the synergistic effect of GO and PANi. A comparison of the resistances of samples reveal that though as-synthesized GO is insulating (80 MΩ), when added to PANi (283 kΩ) in small amounts yields conducting composites (50–280 Ω). Up to 5 weight % concentration, GO renders conductivity to the composite probably by increasing the doping level of PANi. Nonetheless, no further increase in conductivity observed on addition of more than 5 wt% GO in the composite has dictated us to unravel the structure property relationship between PANi and GO, where GO facilitates the formation of partially reduced phase of PANi, thereby restricting the electronic transport. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polyaniline–graphene oxide nanocomposites: influence of nonconducting graphene oxide on the conductivity and oxidation‐reduction mechanism of polyaniline

Epoxy resin nanocomposites containing graphite nanosheets (GNS) and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) were prepared by incorporating GNS in semi interpenetrating network (semi-IPN) of epoxy resin and unsaturated polyester resin (E-UPR). GNS are prepared by thermal shock treatment of sulphuric acid-graphite intercalation compound (GIC) followed by ultra-sonication. The E-UPR-GNS semi-IPNs were further modified with aromatic amines such as benzidine (Bz) and diphenyl amine (DPA). All the samples were prepared by mixing Triethylenetetramine (TETA) as the curing agent at two different temperatures viz. room temperature (RT) and low temperature (LT; 5 °C). A transition is observed in the conducting properties of the samples: from an electrical insulator to an electrical semiconductor in case of nanocomposites especially on addition of GNS to E-UPR semi-IPNs. A sharp improvement is observed in conductivity after modification with diphenyl amine (DPA) cured at LT. The nanocomposites obtained at LT exhibit homogeneity with minimum anisotropy in conductivity. The morphology, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties were evaluated using various analytical techniques. Positron annihilation spectroscopy was carried out to correlate the measured properties with the free volume and free volume hole size distribution. The results are consistent with the reported studies. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd
