Herein, we report in situ preparation of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) micelles assisted polyaniline (Pani)/zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanocomposites (Pani/ZrO2) by using K2S2O8 as an oxidizing agent. Thus prepared nanocomposites were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and UV.vis spectropho-tometry. DBSA acted as dopant/surfactant, and the incorporation of ZrO2 nanoparticles improved the stability, electrical and thermal properties of nanocomposites. From the results of UV.vis absorbance it was observed that Pani/ZrO2 nanocomposite was more stabilized under UV light than Pani. DC electrical conductivity retention was studied by isothermal and cyclic ageing techniques and was observed to be better than Pani under ambient environmental conditions.

Keywords:Polyaniline;ZrO2 nanoparticles;DBSA micelles;Isothermal and cyclic ageing techniques
