Abstract

This book chapter provides a comprehensive overview of conducting polymer nanocomposites, including their types and potential applications. The article highlights six types of conducting polymer nanocomposites, which include metal nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal oxide nanoparticles, nanocellulose, and clay nanoparticles. Additionally, the chapter discusses the various methods available for the synthesis of conducting polymer nanocomposites, which include in situ polymerization, solution blending, in situ reduction, electrochemical deposition, and layer-by-layer assembly. Overall, this chapter serves as a valuable resource for researchers interested in the synthesis and application of conducting polymer nanocomposites.
