In this study, polystyrene and poly(vinyl chloride) particles were coated successfully with polythiophene in aqueous media. These nanocomposites were prepared in situ by polymerization of thiophene in the presence of FeCl 3 as an oxidant and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) as a surfactant. The effect of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles on the characteristics of products such as thermal stability and morphology was investigated. The chemical structure, morphology, and thermal stability of these core‐shell nanocomposites were studied by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. Thermal stability of the nanocomposites was compared and indicated that the thermal stability of polythiophene/polystyrene was better than the polythiophene/poly(vinyl chloride) nanocomposite. Also, the presence of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles can drastically increase the thermal stability of polythiophene nanocomposites. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL. 20:212–217, 2014.
