Abstract
This α-Vanadyl phosphate, VOPO4.2.5H2O(VOP), and TiO2 were prepared and characterized. α-Vanadyl phosphate/titanium dioxide, [TiO2]0.25 [VOP]0.75, nanocomposite was synthesized by dispersing an ethanol suspension. Polymers, polyaniline, polypyrrole, polyindole, and polycarbazole were prepared via self-support of their monomers polymerization, where (VOP/TiO2) acts as an oxidant. The VOPO4· 2.5 H2O (V+5OP) acts as self-supporting monomers in polymerization, due to part of it being converted to (V+4OP), TiO2 enhances the process. Their matrix was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy analysis, Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis). Color changes support the formation of the polymers. The % in wt. of the polymers was obtained from elemental (CHN)analysis. Their electrical conductivity shows a semiconductor trend.
