Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Composite Materials for Application in Chemical Sensors

Abstract

Mesoporous SBA-15/conducting polymers composites, type SBA- polithiophene, SBA-polyaniline, respectively were synthesized and their physical properties were investigated. Polymers molecules were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization inside the pores of the mesoporous material by a post-synthesis process. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy.
