Polythiophene and its composite, nanocomposite successfully synthesized via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization method by using ferric chloride as an oxidant and PEG as surfactant in aqueous media. Capability for the removal of As (III) by this material was investigated. The chemical structure and morphology of product were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that Fe2O3 and poly(ethylene glycol) effect the properties of product.
