The invention discloses carbon
nano tube reinforced
polyaniline nano-
fiber and a preparing method thereof. The preparing method includes steps of: adding
aniline monomers and carbon nano tubes into
dilute acid for
ultrasound treatment to obtain carbon
nano tube and
aniline monomer blend solution; dissolving initiators into
ethanol to form initiator solution and dissolving oxidants in
dilute acid to form oxidant solution; and adding the initiator solution into the carbon
nano tube and
aniline monomer blend solution, then adding the oxidant solution, severely swinging for a moment, performing
centrifugation, washing, redispersion and the like after standing reaction is complete so as to finally obtain the carbon nano tube reinforced
polyaniline nano-
fiber. The preparing method is simple, efficient and high in
controllability. The carbon nano tubes can be uniformly dispersed on a
polyaniline matrix. The
mean diameter of the obtained carbon nano tube reinforced polyaniline nano-
fiber is 30-60 nm, the length is 1-2 mu m, and electric
conductivity is 10(-8)-10(2) S / cm, and the carbon nano tube reinforced polyaniline nano-fiber can be used in the application fields such as sensors, actuating devices, ultra-capacitors, electrochromatic windows, functional coatings and
ultrafiltration membranes.
