Polymer nano composites made of poly(aniline) (PANI) with layered clay and TiO2 were prepared effectively by dispersing the inorganic nano layers of nano materials onto organic PANI matrix via in situ free radical polymerization with peroxodisulpahte (PDS) and PDC as individual initiator under different experimental conditions like variationin time, monomer and concentration of initiator.The functional group analysis was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis counseled the thermal stability of nano composites. The topographical image of the polymer nano composite materials was studied by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Comparison was also done.
