Abstract
This investigation aims to standardize and characterize a novel nanopolymer composite of SiO₂/PAM/PAn The polymer composite is prepared via intermediate polymerization through condensation and is enhanced using silicon nanoparticles to increase its surface area and adsorption capacity. The material is characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify functional groups, ray diffraction (DRX) to explore its structure, and barrier electron microscopy (MEB) to analyze its surface and porosity. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis (ATG) and transmission electron microscopy (MET) are performed. Gel permeability chromatography (GPC) is also conducted, enabling the calculation of molecular and digital color and polymer stability.
