In here, chemical oxidative synthesis of a new poly(quinoline)-copper
composite was given in one-step pathway. To obtain composite, the copper
sulphate and 2-amino-8-quinolinol were used as oxidant and monomer,
respectively. The oxidation product obtained was characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis,
thermogravimetry (TG), photoluminescence (PL), SEM-EDX, TEM analysis and solid
state conductivity measurements. SEM observations exhibited the presence of a plate-like heterogeneous
morphology. Rod like structures was revealed from TEM images. TEM studies also indicated that the copper
nanoparticles were almost uniformly distributed on polymer. The thermal
decomposition kinetics of oxidation product were also studied. For this, the different
methods such as Coats-Redfern, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Tang and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose were used.
