Polymer nanocomposite (PNC) films based on sodium alginate and polyaniline (SA/PANi) and TiO 2 as nanoceramic were synthesized by solution casting method. XRD displayed that the average size crystalline of the TiO 2 NPs is 19 nm, and the amorphuos degree of the SA/PANi blend decreased due to the add...
