Abstract :
The effect of ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) as surface modifier and polyaniline (PAni) into poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends was studied. PVC/PEO conductive films with 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 wt % of PAni were prepared using solution casting technique. The addition of EDMA showed higher electrical properties, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity for all compositions of PVC/PEO conductive films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results show that the addition of EDMA in conductive films gives good fillers dispersion in the PVC/PEO/PANI conductive films.
