Abstract

We report on the synthesis of tubular composite of doped polyaniline (PANI) with carboxylic groups contained multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNTs) by in situ polymerization. Based on the interaction between aniline monomers and c-MWNTs , aniline molecules were adsorbed and polymerized on the surface of c-MWNTs . The structural characterization showed that tubular composites are core (c-MWNTs )-shell (doped-PANI) structures with diameters of several tens of nanometers, and lengths of up to several hundreds of nanometers. The conductivities of these tubular composites are several times higher than that of PANI without MWNT, which will offer new application possibilities.
