Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to study the various developments taking place in the field of gas sensors made from polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites, which leads to the development of high-performance electrical and gas sensing materials operating at room temperature.

Design/methodology/approach

PANI/ferrite nanocomposites exhibit good electrical properties with lower dielectric losses. There are numerous reports on PANI and ferrite nanomaterial-based gas sensors which have good sensing response, feasible to operate at room temperature, requires less power and cost-effective.

Findings

This paper provides an overview of electrical and gas sensing properties of PANI/ferrite nanocomposites having improved selectivity, long-term stability and other sensing performance of sensors at room temperature.

Originality/value

The main purpose of this review paper is to focus on PANI/ferrite nanocomposite-based gas sensors operating at room temperature.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to report a comparative study of conducting polymer (CP) dispersed oil polyurethane coatings derived from a sustainable resource, i.e. polyaniline (PANI)/coconut oil polyesteramide urethane (CPEAU) and poly(1‐naphthylamine) (PNA)/linseed oil polyurethane (LPUA) coatings.

Design/methodology/approach

The coatings were prepared chemically and were characterized for their physico‐chemical, physico‐mechanical, corrosion protective efficiency, and open circuit potential measurements. The morphological analysis of the corroded carbon steel (CS), coated uncorroded CS, and coated corroded CS specimens, was carried out by SEM analysis.

Findings

The study revealed that the presence of a CP enhanced the corrosion protective efficiency of the sustainable resource‐based organic coatings. The type of CP used also played a major role in defining the corrosion resistance behavior of the coating materials.

Originality/value

The comparative study of anticorrosive properties of CP with oil‐based polyurethane blends has been studied for the first time.
