Abstract


The synthesis of conducting polymers has made it possible for the research community on their applications toward microwave absorption for telecommunication engineering. Polyaniline has been one such conducting polymer whose synthesis does not require any special equipment or precautions. Such conductive polymer generally, show highly reversible redox behaviour with a noticeable chemical memory and hence have been considered as prominent new materials for the fabrication nanofibers that could be used many applications particularly for telecommunication engineering. The current work presents a successful fabrication of Polyaniline/Magnetite/Poly(vinylalcohol) (PAni/Fe3O4/PVA) nanofibers composites using electrospinning methods.  Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) was employed to investigate the composites nanofiber’s morphology and TEM was also used to confirmed the present of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the composites nanofiber, where the nanofibers diameter were investigated and found to be approximately 141 nm as estimated by image-J computer software analysis. Fourier-Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) study confirmed the presence of both Fe3O4 nanoparticles and PAni in the nanofiber structure. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and PAni/Fe3O4/PVA nanofiber materials shows the characteristic behaviour of both amorphose and crystalline phase by indication the peaks at 2? = 23.12o, 24.14o and 35.13o in the prepared materials.
