IN-SITU PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYANILINE FIBRES FROM POLYMER BLENDS
Ricardo Herb� Cruz-Estrada
ABSTRACT
Percolation theory and a generalisation of effective media theories were used to model the behaviour of the conductivity with respect to the content of PANIPOLTM in the compression moulded blends. Both approaches yielded similar values for the critical parameters, which were also in good agreement with the percolation threshold experimentally observed. The results of the modelling suggested that, at the percolation threshold, the morphology of the composite may consists of aggregates of flattened polyaniline particles forming very long layered structures within the SBS matrix, which is in agreement with the results of the morphological analysis.
