Abstract
Poly(m-toluidine) (PmT) and Poly(o-toluidine) (PoT) have been synthesized from derivatives of aniline (m-toluidine), (o-toluidine) monomers by chemical oxidative polymerization method. After polymerization, PoT powder was doped with p-toluene sulphonic acid (p-TSA) and the polymer powders were blended with poly vinyl chloride (PVC) to achieve PmT and p-TSA doped PoT dispersed films. XRD, FTIR and UV–visible studies were carried out to get their structural changes and optical information. These blends were irradiated by 60MeV C5+ ions with different fluences. Post Irradiation XRD, FTIR and UV–visible spectroscopy were also performed on all films. On p-TSA doped PoT–PVC blends dc-conductivity measurements are also carried out before and after irradiation. The results show structural modifications which lead to changes in optical and electrical properties.
