Abstract:
Nanotechnology and nanoscience are a fast evolving field which deals with the properties of the material at the nanoscale level. Harnessing these properties in the form of applications which can aid mankind is nanotechnology. With the properties dependent on size and shapes, discovering methods to synthesize these materials is very essential. The first part of the work focuses on the synthesis of the nanomaterials which include silica-gold core-shell nanoparticles and gold nanowires followed by their characterization.
The second part includes the study and synthesis of conducting polymers. The conducting polymers like polyaniline have been put into many potential applications, for example, gas sensing, etc. This work is focused on characterizing and synthesizing the nanomaterials with certain morphologies and blending them with a conducting polymer to develop new applications and improve the already present ones.
