Abstract

Mössbauer effect spectroscopy and thermal analysis techniques were applied to characterize polyaniline composites successfully synthesized by embedding Fe oxide nanoparticles (about 10–13 nm) in a polymeric matrix in the presence of dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid and Hel (dopant). Thermal techniques provided quantitative information on iron oxide content and on polyaniline stability and transformations. Mössbauer results indicated that for the whole studied composition range, 3.4 to 100 iron oxide wt.%, composites hold maghemite particles. A preliminary study of the conductivity of the nanocomposites was performed. The largest conductivity was observed for a 8 wt.% maghemite composite where all particles are magnetically unblocked at room temperature within the Mössbauer time window.
