Abstract:
Conducting polymer-based nanocomposites (CPNCs) are multifunctional materials formed by combining intrinsically conducting polymers with nanoscale fillers such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, metal nanoparticles, metal oxides and MXenes. Common conducting polymers include polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), polythiophene and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The nanofillers can improve electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, electrochemical activity, thermal stability and surface area, while the polymer matrix provides processability, flexibility and redox activity. Important fabrication approaches include in-situ chemical polymerization, solution blending, electrochemical polymerization, interfacial polymerization, vapor-phase polymerization, self-assembly, hydrothermal/solvothermal processing and additive manufacturing. These materials have applications in supercapacitors, batteries, chemical and biosensors, flexible electronics, electromagnetic-interference shielding, corrosion protection, photovoltaics, actuators, environmental remediation and biomedical devices. Current research emphasizes scalable processing, sustainable materials, flexible devices, 3D printing and advanced two-dimensional nanomaterials.
