Conductive polyaniline/cerium dioxide (PANI/CeO2) composites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of CeO2 nanoparticles. The structure and thermal stability of obtained composites were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR), Fourier-transform Raman spectra (FT-Raman), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that PANI and CeO2 nanoparticles were not simply blended, and a strong interaction existed at the interface of CeO2 and PANI. In the PANI/CeO2 composite, the degree crystallinity of PANI increased and diffraction pattern of CeO2 was amorphous. And that the composites were more thermally stable than that of the pure PANI. Electrical conductivity measurements indicated that the conductivity of PANI/CeO2 composites was much higher than that of the pure PANI and the maximum conductivity obtained was 11.68 S/cm at 17.5 wt% of CeO2.

Conductive polyaniline/zirconia (PANI/ZrO2) composites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of ZrO2 nanoparticles. The structure and morph- ology of composites were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR), thermo- gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The conductivity was also investigated. The results showed that PANI and ZrO2 nanoparticles were not simply blended, and a strong interaction existed at the interface of ZrO2 and PANI. It was probably a composite at molecular level. The composites were more thermal stability than that of the pure PANI. XRD analyses confirmed PANI deposited on the surface of ZrO2 nanoparticles had no effect on crystallization performance of ZrO2 nanoparticles. Electrical conductivity measurements indicated that the conductivity of PANI/ZrO2 composites was much higher than that of PANI and the maximum conductivity obtained was 11.27S/cm at 15 wt% of ZrO2 nanoparticles.

The PANI/ITO conducting nanocomposites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared. Electrical conductivity measurements on the samples pressed into pellets showed that the maximum conductivity attained 2.0 ± 0.05 S/cm for PANI/ITO nanocomposites, at ITO doping concentration of 10 wt%. The results of the present work may provide a simple, rapid and efficient approach for preparing PANI/ITO nanocomposites.

Conductive polyaniline/boron carbide (PANI/B4C) composites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of B4C particles. The structure and thermal stability of obtained composites were characterized by FTIR, XRD and TGA. The results showed that PANI and B4C particles were not simply blended, and a strong interaction existed at the interface of B4C and PANI. In the PANI/B4C composite, the degree crystalline of PANI increased and diffraction pattern of B4C was all but of amorphous. And that the composites were more thermally stable than that of the pure PANI. Electrical conductivity measurements indicated that the conductivity of PANI/B4C composites was much higher than that of the pure PANI and the maximum conductivity obtained was 35.6 S•cm-1 at 20 wt% of B4C.

Nanocomposites of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) were prepared by in situ polymerization at low LDHs loadings in this work. The resultants were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). FTIR showed that the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites were prepared successfully by in situ polymerization and XRD spectra showed that the crystal structure did not change greatly in the presence of LDHS. DSC results confirmed that LDHs could act as nucleating agents. UV-vis spectra showed that LDHs had stronger absorbance peak than LDH. Moreover, the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites had strong anti-ultraviolet effect by introduction of LDHs into polymer matrix.

PA6/LiCl composites were synthesized by in situ anionic polymerization based on the interaction between the inorganic salts and PA6. Sodium hydroxide as initiator and N-acetylcaprolactam as activator were used in the preparation of PA6/LiCl composites with variety of LiCl content. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) testing results showed that both of degree of crystallinity and melting temperature of the composites were decreased under the influence of LiCl. And theγcrystal phase proportion increased with increasing the LiCl content to appropriate amount.

<p>A series of nanocomposites consist of organic polyimide and organo-modified clay content varying from 0 to 5 wt%, were successfully prepared by in situ polymerization. Polyimide used as a matrix of nanocomposite was prepared through the reaction of 1,4-bis [4-aminophenoxy] butane (APB) and 3،3΄،4،4΄-benzophenone tetra carboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The resulting nanocomposite films were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).</p>

In this paper, the diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) was used to modify montmorillonoid (MMT) and got the organic montmorillonite (OMMT), which was used with the monomers of PET by in situ polymerization method to prepare PET/MMT nanocomposition. The OMMT was analyzed by the X ray diffraction (XRD) to test the change of the spacing layer. Dispersion of MMT in the PET/MMT nanocomposites were studied with XRD and SEM and by means of thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) on the thermal stability of PET/MMT nanocomposites. The results showed that, MDI modified MMT successfully, and the compatibility of MMT and PET was increased .

In this paper, a novel flame retarded MCA-PA6 (PA6 incorporated with melamine cyanurate) resin was synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The synthetic product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), thermogravimetry analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and elemental analysis. The result showed that good dispersability were obtained in MCA-based PA6 prepared successfully. Meanwhile, the maximum mass loss rate appeared at about 450 °C and the residual char increased from 1.2 wt% to 3.2 wt% at 500 °C due to the existence of MCA.This research revealed MCA-PA6 owned a good thermal stability, hence there was potential flame retardance.

This work reports synthesize of polypyrrole nano powder by chemical in-situ polymerization of pyrrole in aqueous solution and ammonium persulfate solution which acts as oxidant. It is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD spectrum reveals that the materials are amorphous in nature. FTIR analysis confirms that all peaks are the main characteristic of PPy. SEM analysis showed that the powder has a uniform granular morphology and the size varies from ∼500 nm to 1 μm. The micrograph of polypyrrole reveals the presence of globular particles. The formed particles are irregular in nature. The results show that the fibers are chemically formed as spherical nanostructures.
