Effects of different nucleating particles on aniline polymerization

► New hybrid materials, containing 99.5% PANI and 0.5% filler, were developed. ► Conductive and insulating fillers led to hybrids with similar conductivity to PANI. ► Both hybrids showed up to 50% enhancement in wear resistance compared to PANI. ► A 0.5% of filler leads up to 10% increment in glass transition temperature. ► Conductivity dependence with reaction time does not change for PANI hybrids.
