Abstract
The conduction properties of polyaniline (PAni) with various processing conditions were demonstrated using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The effects of protonation were observed by varying the doping time and annealing time. The measurements agreed with the Mott-Davis hopping model with the exponent varying inversely with the protonation conditions. Also, the density of the samples increased with compression pressure thereby increasing the inter-chain and inter-particle charge transport. Lastly, the THz response on PAni-polyethylene pellets showed dominant contribution of PAni network.
