Abstract: A method for synthesizing a nanosized highly conductive polyaniline composite with tin and titanium oxides has been proposed. The synthesis of dioxides and polycondensation of aniline have been performed in one reactor, which makes it possible to control the sizes of SnO$_2$ and TiO$_2$ nanoparticles from 10 to 300 nm and change their content in the nanocomposite by varying the conditions of synthesis (temperature, pH, and reagent concentration). The morphology, composition, IR spectra, conductivity, and thermal stability of the synthesized samples have been studied.
