Heterogeneous Preparation of Cellulose/Ag/Polyaniline Conductive Composite and its Electrical Property

Abstract:

Cellulose/Ag/polyaniline conductive composite with rather excellent electrical conductivity was heterogeneously synthesized in this paper. The UV-Vis analysis indicated that homogeneous nanoAg particles deposited on the surface of cellulose in the form of globe particles. They offered some electrons to polyaniline chains. This behavior resulted to the facts that more polyaniline embedded on cellulose and an integrated electrically conductive network formed. Consequently, the high electrical conductivity of the composite was observed. The value was 3.48 S/cm, which was higher two magnitudes than the electrical conductivity of cellulose/polyaniline composite (2.15×10^-2 S/cm), and even was higher than the electrical conductivity of pure polyaniline (0.142 S/cm). This paper provided a facile method for the preparation of cellulose/Ag/ polyaniline composite with favorable electrical conductivity.
