| Abstract | In situ polymerization of aniline is doneinside the pillared clay matrix. The nonswellable pillaredclay confined matrix allows efficient polymerization thatleads to nanofibrous morphology. As a result high polymerorder and crystallinity is attained and is evident fromXRD patterns. The strong interaction between the claylayers and polyaniline (PANI) is understood from FTIR and DRS spectra. Additionally these analytical results suggest that the prepared PANI is in the doped state. ThePANI/pillared clay nanocomposite formation gives additionalthermal stability to the polymer backbone and is clear from the DTG curves. |
