Nanosized Poly O toluidine (PoT) were synthesised by in situ oxidative polymerization of monomer o-Toluidine by means of Interfacial Polymerization, leads to the formation of homogenous porous and hollow Fabriliar polymer having approximate diameter 150 nm. Electronic, FT – IR spectra, XRD of resulting nanocomposite shows all characteristic peaks and confirms the presence of conducting emeraldine salt (ES) phase of the polymer. Formed nanosized poly o-toluidine was successfully utilized for sensing volatile organic compounds.
