Conducting polyaniline/ZnFe2O4 nanocomposites are synthesized by using a simple and inexpensive one-step in-situ polymerization method in the presence of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles.The structural,morphological and electrical properties of the samples are characterized by x-ray diffraction,Fourier transform infrared spectra and scanning electron microscopy.These results reveal the formation of polyaniline/ZnFe2O4 nanocomposites.The morphology of these samples is studied by scanning electron microscopy.Further,the ac conductivity (σac) of these composites is investigated in the frequency range of 1 kHz-10 MHz.The presence of polarons and bipolarons are responsible for the frequency dependence of ac conductivity in these nanocomposites.The ac conductivity is found to be constant up to 1 MHz and thereafter it increases steeply.The ac conductivity of 0.695S·cm-1 at room temperature is observed as the maxima for the polyaniline with 40wt％ of the ZnFe2O4 nanocomposite.Polymers are known,in general,as a class of heat sensitive,flexible,electrically insulating,amorphous or semicrystalline materials.The electrical properties of polymers can be modified by the addition of inorganic materials.Nanoscale particles as fillers are attractive due to their intriguing properties arising from the nanosize and resulting large surface area.The insertion of nanoscale materials may improve the electrical and dielectric properties of the host polymers.[1]A large number of polymers are now included in the list of conducting polymers,including polyaniline,polypyrrole,polythiophene,polyparaphenylene,polyphenylene sulphide,polyphenylene vinylene,etc.
