2012 APR 16 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "Poly(4-aminodiphenylamine)-silver nanocomposites were synthesized by an easy one-step aqueous chemical oxidative polymerization of 4-aminodiphenylamine (4ADPA) using silver nitrate (AgNO3) as the oxidant. Two different structure directing surfactants, p-toluene sulfonic acid (p-TSA) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide/hydrochloric acid (CTAB/HCl), were independently used for the nanocomposite (NC) preparation," scientists in Tamil Nadu, India report.

"The NCs prepared in p-TSA and CTAB/HCl medium were designated as P4ADPA/AgNC(p-TSA) and P4ADPA/AgNC(CTAB/HCl), respectively. We investigated the morphological variations in...
