Synthesis and Characterization Novel Emeraldine-Salt@Porang Composites Thin Film:Conductivity Studies

Abstract

A synthesis of the emeraldine salt@porangcomposite was synthesized using the in situ chemical polymerization method to form the ES@Porang composite. Polymerization using ammonium peroxodisulphate as an initiator in the aniline oxidative polymerization process and using H2SO4 doping. The composite films were prepared with variations in dopant concentration and variations in the amount of glucomannan. Characterization of the ES@Porang composite using FTIR and conductivity testing using an LCR-meter. The optimum conductivity values of the ES@Porangcomposite thin film with variations in dopant concentration and amount of glucomannan were 24.3 x 10-3 , 58.2 x 10-3 , and 84,3 x 10-3 S/cm respectively.
