Abstract

In this work, effects of x-ray and UV irradiation on the chemical structure of doped and undoped polyaniline emeraldine (PANI-E) films were explored using infrared spectroscopy. PAni films were deposited on SiO_x by dry casting method. Results showed that nitrogen groups are involved in the red shifting of absorption bands after irradiation with UVA and X-ray. Also, it was observed that exposure of doped and undoped polyaniline film to these radiations blue shifted the aromatic CC and aliphatic CC conjugated bands. Blue shifting of CC bands implies higher energy requirement for polaronic migration to take place. The occurrence of aliphatic CC on one hand indicates decreased long chain conjugation. These affect the electrical property of PAni by lowering the intrinsic conductivity of the material.
