Abstract

Various inorganic acid doped PMMA/PANI composite are prepared by in-situ polymerization technique. Morphology, room temperature (RT) conductivity and DC-conductivity with temperature variation (77-300 K) are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and linear four probe technique, respectively. Fibril structures with different diameter are observed in doped PMMA/PANI composite, whereas smooth texture is found in PMMA polymer film. Room temperature DC conductivity is found 0.1497 × 10-2 S/cm for H2SO4-and 0.309 × 10-3 S/cm for H3PO4-, 0.244 × 10-3S/cm for HCl-doped conductive composite, respectively. Temperature dependent DC Conductivity is measured and it behaves like semiconductor.
