Synthesis of Composites Based on Polyaniline-Modified Dispersed Nanocarbon Supports and Prospects of their Application as Sorbents

Abstract:

Pristine, catalyst-free and carboxylated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were modified with polyaniline via oxidative polymerization of aniline using ammonium persulfate. The effect of the nanocarbon support nature, degree of CNT functionalization and modification conditions on the specific surface area of the obtained composites was studied. Prospects of the application of the polyaniline-modified CNTs-and GNPs-based materials as sorbents for retention of different substances, including pathogenic organisms, were analyzed.
