Spectroscopic and electrical properties of sodium alginate/TiO2-carbon nanotube composite

Abstract

THIS treated work with describes Titanium the dioxide preparation (TiO and 2)-Carbon characterization nanotube(CNT). of Sodium The Alginate morphology (NaAlg) of composites was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) showing the CNT coated with NaAlg and the TiO2 dispersed in the NaAlg matrix. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was applied for characterization of NaAlg composite with TiO2/CNT, the whole alginate presented bands in the region of 948-780 cm-1. The structure characteristics and surface properties of the samples were characterized by Electrical Conductivity that was measured in the range of (42 Hz-1 MHz). The study concluded that the introduction of TiO2/ CNT resulted in improvement in electrical conductivity of the NaALg matrix.
