Abstract:

A novel method is proposed for preparing MoO3/polyaniline composite with layered structure. The composite was prepared first by inserting aniline into MoO3 lattice using dodecylamineintercalated MoO3 as precursor, followed by successful polymerization in air. The composite was characterized by powder XRD, SEM, and TGA-DSC. A possible arrangement of intercalated aniline in the gallery of MoO3 is proposed. Its magnetic property has been studied by VSM at room temperature.
