Copolymer nanocomposite of N-Methyl pyrrole (NMPy) and Aniline-2-Sulphonic acid (ASA) doped with HCl was synthesized using chemical oxidative polymerization. Ammonium persulfate (APS) was used as an oxidant. The nanocomposite samples were characterized for structural configurations by FTIR, TGA and XRD. Four probe method was adopted for the measurement of electrical conductivity. FTIR confirms the formation of copolymer and its structure. XRD analysis shows the amorphous nature of polymer nanocomposite. The electrical conductivity of sample was measured by using four probe method. Size and surface morphology was demonstrated by SEM.
Key words: Nanocomposite, copolymer, XRD, TGA, SEM, four probe method.
