Abstract
Poly (o-phenylenediamine) and their nanocomposites with ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using oxidative polymerization method and the polymer nanocomposites were characterized using FT-IR, UV-VIS spectroscopy and the morphology have been analyzed by XRD, SEM and TEM. The stability of the prepared polymer nanocomposites was studied using TGA, DTA and found to have high thermal stability. The study of ac conductivity, dielectric property revealed that the formed nanocomposites are semiconducting in nature and can be widely used in the field of energy storage and semiconductor devices, in diodes, batteries etc.
