Synthesis of C₆₀-Doped Polyaniline Nanoshuttles

Abstract:

Polyaniline–C₆₀ nanoshuttle composites have been successfully synthesized by the oxidative polymerization of aniline with ammonium peroxydisulfate in the presence of C₆₀ using an interfacial reaction at room temperature, in which the molar ratio of oxidant to monomer was kept at 0.25:1. The influence of initial C₆₀/aniline molar ratio on the supramolecular structure of the composites was studied. It was found that at low molar ratio (0.01:1) amorphous powders could be synthesized, while the as-synthesized products at the higher molar ratio (0.04:1) were shuttle-like superstructures. FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopy confirmed the presence of C₆₀ in the resultant nanocomposite and suggested significant interaction of polyaniline with C₆₀. The evolution of supramolecular structure of polyaniline nanoshuttle–C₆₀ nanocomposites was discussed.
