Abstract
Composite nanofibers from poly(methylmethacrylate)- (PMMA-) conducting polyaniline [PANI(HCl)] were prepared by using the electrospinning technique. The morphology and structural details of the fibers were characterized by SEM and the ac conductivity of the composite fibers found was measured to be ∼ 2.17 × 10-4 S/cm which is very good enhancement compared to that of pure PMMA and conductivity of PANI-PMMA thin films as well. The conductivity is found to increase with increase in the polyaniline content in the composite. Microwave Hall mobility measurements on electrospun nanofibers showed 17 cm2/V s for the lower loadings. With further increase in the polyaniline content in the composite, the mobility value decreases which is attributed to the increase in carrier-carrier scatterings. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
