Although much work has already been done on various aspects of polymer/ silica nanocomposites, more research is required in order to further understanding the complex structure property relationship. Moreover, colloidal polymer/ silica nanocomposites which representation a new category of polymer/silica nanocomposites have attracted growing interest in recent years. Sol-gel method is mostly used in preparation of polymer/ silica nanocomposites particles. Conducting polymers have been found suitable for microelectronic device fabrication due to their excellent electric characteristics and ease of process ability. Among these polymers, Polyaniline has attracted much attention of many researchers due to its ease of synthesis, processibility, good thermal stability and good environment stability. This study involves the synthesis of Silica, PANI, Oxalic Acid nanocomposites conducting with n-type doping. Small amount of Oxalic acid is used in chemical doping to enhance the conductivity of synthesized by oxidative polymerization method. These nanocomposites are characterized using various techniques such as FTIR, SEM analysis and UV Spectra study.

Keywords- Polyaniline (PANI), Conducting Polymers (CPs), Silica nanocomposites, Oxalic acid.
