Abstract.

The effect of 8MeV electron beam irradiation on the structural, optical and electrical properties of a PANI-MnWO4 nanocomposite synthesized by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization in the presence of MnWO4 nanoparticles was investigated. The dose-dependent effect of electron irradiation was studied using various characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and impedance analyser. Systematic investigation based on the results of structural studies confirms that electron beam irradiation induces defects and particle size variation on the PANI-MnWO4 nanocomposite, which in turn results in improvements in optical absorption, band gap, DC and AC conductivity, and dielectric constant and loss tangent.
