Preparation and Characterization of Polyacrylonitrile-Polyaniline Blend Nanofibers

Abstract:

Composite nanofibers of polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (PANI-DBSA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) were prepared via an electrospinning process. The surface morphology of PANI-DBSA/PAN nanofibers was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to investigate the hydrogen bonding and miscibility behavior of the blend. It was found that the average fiber diameter of composites nanofiber was increased with the increase of PANI-DBSA content. The formation of the hydrogen bonding between PAN and PANI-DBSA was identified by the FTIR spectra
