Abstract

A polyaniline/graphite (PAn/C graphite ) composite was successfully synthesized by an in-situ polymerization process. The composite was characterized through various techniques. Structural investigations were carried out through FTIR spectroscopy and SEM-EDX methods. The analyses of the composite clearly demonstrate the incorporation of graphitic units into the polymer backbone during polymerization as a result of graphite's doping effect. UV-Vis studies and two-point probe conductivity measurement proved that this phenomenon led to an increase in electrical conductivity. Keywords: conducting polymer composite, polyaniline, graphite, conductivity, spectroscopy, microscopy
