Abstract

The authors were successful in fabricating Perchloric-doped Polyaniline films using Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) as binder. Different mass ratios (PAni:PVA) were used to fabricate the film. For the mass ratio of 1:0.5, the small amount of PVA was not sufficient to bind the polyaniline powder. However, for mass ratios of 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, 1:7, and 1:9, all polyaniline powder samples were successfully fabricated into films. All fabricated films are ohmic, exhibiting linear voltage vs. current graph. Lastly, the conductivity of the samples decreased and films became more uniform with increasing PVA concentration.
