Synthesis and characterization of silver-doped aniline-formaldehyde nanocomposite: Spectroscopic and microscopic studies

In order to get the nanocomposite of silver-doped resin, we treated aniline with dil. HCl and formaldehyde solution (40%) with constant stirring and got polymer metal complex, then we calcinated this complex at 9000 C in Muffle furnace for 45 min. The structure and chemical properties of Ag-doped resin were confirmed byIH NMR and IR spectroscopic techniques. The morphological study of this decomposed polymer metal nanocomposite had been done by SEM, AFM and TEM. Polymer nanocomposites of metals represent an important field for fundamental studies which offer a wide range of engineering and biomedical applications. The prepared polymer Ag-doped aniline formaldehyde nanocomposites are widely used as photosensitive components, catalysts, photo-catalyst and in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy as well as chemical analysis.
