THERMAL STUDIES OF POLYPYRROLE- NiZnFe2O4 NANOCOMPOSITES

  • Unique Paper ID: 143716

  • Abstract:
  • Thermal behavior and thermal stability of polypyrrole and Polypyrrole - NiZnFe2O4 (10% - 50%) nanocomposites prepared by in-situ polymerization method were studied by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. Thermo gravimetric analysis showed significant decrease in weight loss in nanocomposites compared to pure Ppy indicating decrease in thermal stability of the host matrix due to the incorporation of nano particles. All nanocomposites exhibit almost same thermal behavior as that of host polymer Ppy. Differential thermal analysis reveals the existence of a endothermic peak and an exothermic one corresponding to various physical and chemical changes taking place in pure polymer and composites subjected to heating.
