Abstract
The addition of poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEDGE) as surface modifier and type of conductive fillers into poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends was studied. PVC/PEO blends conductive films with 15 wt% of carbon black (CB), poly (aniline) (PAni), and poly (pyrrole) (PPy) were prepared using solution casting technique. The addition of PEGDE showed lower tensile strength, but higher modulus of elasticity and electrical conductivity for all compositions of PVC/PEO conductive films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results show that the addition of PEGDE in conductive films gives good dispersion between matrix and fillers. The PVC/PEO conductive films demonstrated less thermal stability with the addition of PEGDE compared to without PEDGE.
Highlights
Polymer blending is one of the most important contemporary ways for the development of new polymeric materials and it is a useful technique for designing materials with a wide variety of properties
The surface morphology of the PVC/PEO conductive films with type of conductive fillers and PEGDE were extracted with toluene at room temperature for 24 h was analyzed by using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) apparatus (Model JEOL JSM-6460 LA made in Japan)
The addition of 6 wt% of PEGDE as surface modifier had caused the tensile strength of all conductive films decreased
