Surface modified polythiophene/Al2O3 and polyaniline/Al2O3 nanocomposites using poly(vinyl alcohol) for the removal of heavy metal ions from water: kinetics, thermodynamic and isotherm studies

In this study, polythiophene/Al2O3 (PTh/Al2O3) and polyaniline/Al2O3 (PAn/Al2O3) nanocomposites in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as the surfactant were synthesized via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method in aqueous medium. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by...
