Synthesis and Characteristics of Polyaniline (PANI) Filled by Graphene (PANI/GR) nano-Films

In this research polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized by using chemical oxidative polymerization method. The structural properties of polyaniline nano films pure and filled by graphene (GR) at different weight percentage of graphene like (1%, 3% and 5%) were investigated. The nano films prepared by using spin coating technique and deposited on glass substrate at room temperature. The structural and surface morphology of the nano films are evaluated by FT-IR, XRD and AFM. The results showed that FT-IR spectra of pure PANI is similar to tha spectra of PANI/GR composites, While the results of XRD singular that the PANI has amorphous nature, As well as the results of AFM for all nano films of pure PANI and filled by graphene(PANI/GR) composites showed that Roughness average (Ra), Root mean square (Rms) value and average grain size (G.S) increase with increasing addition of GR ratio.
