Abstract: Diphenylamine (DPA) was polymerized with two different initiator namely potassium peroxy disulphate (PDS) and potassium dichromate (PDC) under inert atmosphere at 45oC in the presence and absence of various nano materials.  Rp was determined based on gravimetric method.  FTIR will account for the % amino and % imino forms of backbone of Poly(diphenylamine) (PDPA).  Added nano materials improved the thermal degradation temperature of PDPA as well as their electrical conductivity value.   

 Keywords: Poly(diphenylamine), nanocomposites, Rp, FTIR, TGA, Conductivity, HRTEM
