文摘

Monodispersed titanium oxide nanospheres were synthesized via the controlled hydrolysis method in this study firstly. Then the rapid mixing method was used to in situ oxidation polymerize aniline, which can modify the surface of titanium oxide nanospheres to form a core/shell nanostructure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and rotational viscometer were used to investigate its structure, morphology and properties. The different type and dosage of surfactants, different acids, crystal forms of titanium oxide and different dosages of aniline were studied to analysis the impact on the TiO₂/PANI nanocomposites. The suitable type and dosage of surfactants, the ratio of aniline to titania were the key to synthesize the nanocomposite, which can include nanoring, nanofiber or nanoparticles core/shell composite depending the synthesis condition. The titania/polyaniline composite showed typical electrorheological (ER) behavior, which demonstrated its potential applications as an ER smart material.
