Abstract

In this work, Poly (2,5-dimethoxyaniline) has been synthesized by oxidative polymerization using ammonium per sulfate as oxidant and protonated by camphor sulfonic acid. Protonated Poly (2,5-dimethoxyaniline) was doped with TiO2 for different weight ratio and spin coat as thin film using m-cresol as solvent. Tio2 doped Poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline) thin films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of structural confirmation, band gap, electronic transition and chemical composition. SEM micrograph images of the film confirmed the rod like structure. The band gap value and DC conductivity of the hybrid films found to be influenced by the ratio of TiO2 nanoparticles.
