Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) fibers were synthesized in presence of detonantion nanodiamond (DND) particles by precipitation polymerization technique. Morphological, electrical and mechanical characterizations of the obtained PANI/DND nanocomposited have been performed by different either standard or advanced atomic force microscopy (AFM) based techniques. Morphological characterization by tapping mode AFM supplied information about the structure of fibers and ribbons forming the PANI/DND network. An AFM based technique that takes advantage of an experimental configuration specifically devised for the purpose was used to assess the electrical properties of the fibers, in particular to verify their conductivity. Finally, mechanical characterization was carried out synergically using two different and recently proposed AFM based techniques, one based on AFM tapping mode and the other requiring AFM contact mode, which probed the nanocomposited nature of PANI/DND fiber sample down to different depths.
