Abstract
Conductive polyaniline/tungsten carbide (PANI/TC) composite was synthesized via polymerization of the aniline monomer by (NH4)2S2O8/H2SO4 oxidant system in the presence of an aqueous suspension of TC. The structure, thermal stability and conductivity of PANI/TC composite were studied and the results were also compared with the pure PANI. The results showed that there was a strong interaction between the TC particles and PANI molecular chains. The crystalline structure of TC remained undisturbed upon with interaction with PANI chains. The thermal stability of PANI/TC composite was better than that of pure PANI. The direct current conductivity values of PANI/TC composite decreased slowly as the temperature increased from 25 to 165°C and PANI/TC composite exhibited significantly higher conductivity than the pure PANI.
