Popis: Five precursors of boron carbonitride nanotubes with different B/N ratios were synthesized. Oxidation with nitric acid afforded oxidized boron carbonitride nanotubes (o-BCNNTs), with which composites with polyaniline (o-BCNNTs/PANI) were prepared by in situ oxidative polymerization. For one of the o-BCNNTs, composites were synthesized with a varying amount of the nanotube (up to 30 wt %), while for the rest the nanotube content was maintained at 30 wt % in each case. It has been found that the conductivity of the oxidized boron carbonitride nanotubes decreases with an increasing B/N ratio and that of the composites increases with an increasing percentage of the o-BCNNTs.
