Polyaniline–MWCNT nanocomposites for microwave absorption and EMI shielding

Highly conducting polyaniline (PANI)–multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The FTIR and XRD show systematic shifting of the characteristic bands and peaks of PANI, with the increase in MWCNT phase, suggesting significant interaction between the phases. The SEM and TEM pictures show thick and uniform coating of PANI over surface of individual MWCNT. Based on observed morphological features in...
