The Reduction of Silver Nitrate with Polyaniline Nanotubes to Produce Silver-Polyaniline Composites

Abstract

Polyaniline nanotubes were used for the silver reduction from silver nitrate solutions in acidic, neutral as well as in alkaline media. Resulting polyaniline-silver composites were characterized by TGA and FTIR spectroscopy.

Electrical conductivity has also been determined.
