Abstract
A new class hybrid poly(2-methoxy aniline) Sn(II)silicate carbon nanotubes composite was synthesized by sol-gel method. The physico-chemical characterization was carried out by Scanning Electron micrograph, X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared, Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy and simultaneous Thermo Gravimetric Analysis. The ion-exchange studies were also carried out to understand the ion-exchange capabilities. The dc electrical conductivity studies reviles its highly conducting nature in the range of $2-3^{-2}S\;cm^{-1}$. On the basis of distribution studies it was found highly selective for $Hg^{2+}$. Due to selectivity of the composite, ion selective membrane was prepared and employed it as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titrations.
