Abstract
|
In this study, Zinc Oxide/Polyaniline (ZnO/PANI) hybrid was successfully synthesized using the combination of in-situ
chemical oxidative polymerization and simple hydrothermal route method which was sequentially exposed to gamma radiation.
X-ray diffraction analysis of non-irradiated and irradiated samples indicates the crystallinity of the ZnO/PANI hybrid
and shows no considerable changes after gamma irradiation. Atomic force microscopy analysis shows that the grain size and
roughness of the hybrid increase as the irradiation dose increases. Moreover, with increasing radiation dose, the intensity and
peak area of photoluminescence spectra increase. According to electrical measurements, the conductivity of the prepared
films increases linearly with increasing gamma dose.
