ABSTRACT This current research represents practical synthetic protocol for novel core-shell nanocomposites (CSNCs) containing titania. TiO2/poly(anthranilic acid, m-aminobenzoic acid, and o-phenylenediamine) (TiO2/PANA-m-ABA-o-PDA) CSNCs were fabricated applying 2:2:1 molar ratio of the appropriate monomers and varied loads of TiO2 via polycondensation. The fabrication of the TiO2/PANA-m-ABA- o-PDA CSNCs was affirmed using various characterizations. The bond between TiO2 and PANA-m-ABA-o-PDA was detected in the FTIR spectra. The CSNC’s features are having core-shell structures with sizes 12–27 nm. Under irradiation, the CSNCs exhibit intensive photocatalysis efficacy toward methylene blue degradation. Acceptable explanations of the photocatalytic efficiency consequences were substantiated. The zeta potential of a particle (ζ), the polydispersity index (PDI), and y-intercept were anticipated via dynamic light scattering (DLS) of the terpolymer colloidal system. The procedure manipulates a facile, new, beneficial as well as cheap synthetic technique to fabricate innovative CSNC as a new potential formulation. Graphical Abstract
