Abstract

Polyanisidine (PANIS), a soluble conducting polymer was doped and blended with polyester resin to generate a conducting nanofiber material via the electrospinning process. The pure doped PANIS and the doped PANIS-polyester blend were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and were introduced to electrospinning process at 5 kV to produce nanofibers. The fiber morphology and cross section measurement were made through Scanning Electron Microscope. The pure PANIS fiber has a cross sectional measurement of 105 μm x 110 μm while that of the blend is 110 μm x 95 μm. The fibers of the blended polymer also have better fiber morphology with fewer occurrence of defects than the fiber of the pure PANIS, suggesting that to obtain fibers with smaller diameter and better morphology, it is better to use PANIS-polyester blend than with just PANIS alone.
