Investigations on the influence of nano-ZnO in Thermal and Dielectric properties of Poly (o-toluidine) H. Praveen1 , A. Nishara Begum1* , M. Parthibavarman1 and S

In the recent years, attention on developing nanocomposite with novel characteristics increases enormously mainly to meet various demands of application in different industries. Compositeof zinc oxide incorporated poly (o-toluidine) (POT) has been synthesised employing in situ-chemical oxidation method. The physical and electrical properties of synthesized samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Dielectric analysis. The results of XRD ensured the elemental influence in the polymer nanocomposite samples. TGA analysis reveals that the residue mass (stability)of the material, even after 850°C, increases by increasing the concentration of zinc oxide in the POT. Increasing quantity of ZnO in POT helps to increase its dielectric constant and permittivity at the function of temperatures
