Summary: High concentration of gaseous ammonia is harmful to human organs, but low-concentration ammonia generated from human metabolism can be used as a biomarker for diagnosing kidney disease through exhaled breath. Wearable ammonia sensors integrated into clothing for real-time monitoring are highly desired. The development of twistable and tailorable nanocomposites textile for NH3 sensing shows enhanced response, high stability, and excellent interfering selectivity.

Summary: PANI combines the electrical conductivity of metals with the intriguing properties of plastics, particularly attracting interest in nanoscale due to its great physicochemical features. PANI-based nanocomposites have potential applications in biocatalysts and bioreceptors, assisting in the detection of analytes and allowing biosensing processes to occur at room temperature. Various PANI-based biosensing devices have been developed for the detection of glucose, cholesterol, choline, virus, cancer, and bacteria.

Summary: A polyaniline/zirconia (PANI/ZrO2) composite was synthesized using an in situ method with HCl as a doping agent, SDBS as a surfactant, and APS as an oxidant. The electrical properties of PANI/ZrO2 were significantly affected by the filler phase, as observed through impedance, dielectric constant, dielectric losses, and electrical conductivity measurements. The amount and types of ZrO2 filler also influenced the morphology and structure of the composite.

Summary: Nanocomposite films were prepared using the casting method with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and GO/Fe3O4 as nanofillers. The films exhibited promising properties in terms of structure, vibration, optics, conductivity, dielectric, and magnetism. The addition of GO/Fe3O4 resulted in an increase in the amorphous phase and a redshift in the optical bandgap. Fourier-transform infrared analysis confirmed the coordination/hydrogen bonding between the nanofillers and the polymer blend. The nanocomposite films showed superparamagnetic behavior according to vibrating sample magnetometer measurements. The unique features of CMC/PVA-GO/Fe3O4 films make them suitable for various industries such as magnetic electronics, energy storage devices, and optoelectronics.

Summary: Conducting polymers based hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanocomposites, including polyaniline (PANI)/h-BN and polyaniline-polypyrrole (PANI-PPy)/h-BN, were successfully fabricated using a chemical oxidative polymerization approach. The synthesized materials exhibited desirable properties such as improved thermal stability and irregular morphological structures. The PANI/h-BN nanocomposites showed the highest capacitance and capacitance retention after multiple cycles compared to other materials. Furthermore, a hybrid asymmetric supercapacitor device composed of PANI/h-BN as the positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode demonstrated superior performance in terms of specific capacitance, power density, and LED lighting time.

Summary: The research focuses on the photocatalytic degradation of paracetamol using rGO-PANI/Ag nanocomposites under visible light, achieving degradation rates of 99.6% in acidic medium and 75.76% in basic medium. The enhanced degradation efficiency is attributed to the synergistic effect of rGO, PANI, and Ag NPs in the nanocomposites, leading to strong adsorption efficiency, charge separation, and light absorption in the visible region.
