Abstract
Ternary hybrid composites; MFe2O4/PANI/MWCNTs (M = Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+) were synthesized using sucrose-assisted auto-combustion route followed by in situ polymerization. The newly developed composites indicated improved thermal stability as well as high conductivity and dielectric constants. XRD and FT-IR measurements indicated some type of interaction between the composite components. TEM exhibited the adsorption of MFe2O4to the MWCNTs, followed by their complete coating with PANI layers. This interaction between composites’ components leads to improving t the PANI component’s thermal stability. VSM indicated an obvious reduction in the magnetization owing to the complete coating of magnetic MFe2O4with non-magnetic PANI. Electrical properties measurements revealed an improvement in the ferrites’ conductivity by more than 1000 times than the individual ferrites, with the predominance of the semiconducting properties of all composites. The dielectric constants were also found to be improved by the inclusion of ferrites in their composites.Graphical abstract
