Authors: Bushra R, Khan M.A, Sakdapipanich J.T.

Electrically conductive composite material PANI- Zr(IV) molybdophosphate (PZMP) was synthesized, via treatment of Zr(IV) molybdophosphate with PANI(polyaniline) gel. The membrane of this material is fabricated for detection of mercury in waste samples. By using 4-in-line-probe the conducting behaviour of the material was determined, and it was found that conductivity of the nanocomposite lies in the range of semiconductors. The composite showed improved electrochemical properties and outstanding biological activities.
