Abstract Polyaniline–NiFe 2 O 4 nanocomposites (PANI–NiFe 2 O 4) with different contents
of NiFe 2 O 4 (2.5, 5 and 50 wt%) were prepared via in situ chemical oxidation
polymerization, while the nanoparticles nickel ferrite were synthesized by sol–gel method.
The prepared samples were characterized using some techniques such as Fourier
transforms infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, the electrical conductivity and optical
