Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) nanoparticles were coated with polyaniline (PAn) in the presence of different surfactants such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, poly(vinyl alcohol), and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The PAn nanocomposites were prepared in aqueous and aqueous/nonaqueous media (water/tetrahydrofuran 50/50 w/w solution) by the chemical polymerization of aniline at room temperature using potassium iodate as an oxidant. These nanocomposites were characterized such as morphology and chemical structure by the use of scanning electron microscopy and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The type of surfactant and the type of solution influenced the properties of the products. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 19:233–238, 2013. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers
