Polyaniline (PANI)-MnFe2O4 nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by using 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bromide as ionic liquid and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide as surfactant via in situ polymerization. Structural, morphological, spectral and magnetic investigation of the product were done by X-ray powder diffractometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analyzer, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry respectively. Electrical properties of PANI-MnFe2O4-CTAB nanocomposite was characterized with a measurement of an impedance spectroscopy, which was evaluated at frequency range varying from 1 Hz to 3 MHz for temperature range of 20-120 °C. In general ac conductivity remained almost unchanged until it reaches up to 160 kHz, and then reduced slightly almost for all temperatures except for some slight fluctuation somehow. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
