Abstract The present study deals with the intensified synthesis of starchpolyaniline
(starch-PANI) nanocomposite using an ultrasound-assisted method.
Starch is a key component in this nanocomposite, which acts as a backbone of the
nucleation of PANI. The Electrochemical property of the nanocomposite arises due
to the addition of PANI. This is one of green approach for the synthesis of bio
nanocomposite using ultrasound. The crystallinity of the composite is evaluated
using the Scherrer Formula. The starch-PANI nanocomposite was characterized by
XRD, FT-IR, Raman, XPS and TEM. The composite nanoparticles show spherical
morphology. The elemental composition of starch-PANI More >
