Properties of Conductive Polyaniline/Boron Carbide Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Conductive polyaniline/boron carbide (PANI/B4C) composites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of B4C particles. The structure and thermal stability of obtained composites were characterized by FTIR, XRD and TGA. The results showed that PANI and B4C particles were not simply blended, and a strong interaction existed at the interface of B4C and PANI. In the PANI/B4C composite, the degree crystalline of PANI increased and diffraction pattern of B4C was all but of amorphous. And that the composites were more thermally stable than that of the pure PANI. Electrical conductivity measurements indicated that the conductivity of PANI/B4C composites was much higher than that of the pure PANI and the maximum conductivity obtained was 35.6 S•cm-1 at 20 wt% of B4C.
