Abstract

Electrically conductive heterogeneous binary polymer blends based on ethylene–propylene–diene-monomer (EPDM) and polyaniline (PAni) were prepared in a Haake Rheocord 90 rheometer, coupled with an internal mixer (counter rotating cam rotors) using different amounts of PAni doped with dodecylbenzenosulfonic acid (DBSA). Blends were crosslinked using two methods: (i) phenolic resin (SP-1045) as crosslinking agent and (ii) electron beam irradiation. The last method avoids the interference of the acid dopant in the crosslinking process and produces blends with higher conductivity.
