Abstract

In this study, nanocomposites are made by chemical polymerization technique, adding different percentages of MWCNT nanoparticles and SnO2 nanoparticles and studying their effect on the nanocomposite, where the results of the XRD tests are shown. It indicates the presence of clear diffraction peaks due to MWCNT and SnO2. The surface morphology of the pure polymer has changed after adding fixed concentrations of SnO2 and MWCNT, according to the FE-SEM data. The FTIR analysis revealed the kinds and concentrations of the components included in the nanocomposite and the sample's suitability for various applications. After that, the Nan composites will be deposed on the glass substrate for testing as NO2 gas sensors with different temperatures. Let us get the best sensitivity at 150 oC.
