Abstract

Changing parameters such as: concentration, type and molecular weight of stabilizer, has made possible the control of size and nanoparticles distribution, and thus impacting the final application properties. Ammonium peroxydisulfate is currently used as a conventional oxidizing agent in aniline polymerization is always; however, it results an insoluble, infusible polymer, which is not easily to handle. Hence, rise the approach of using steric stabilizers to overcome of processability and manipulation problems, by a formation of a colloidal dispersion. In this work, the fabrication of polyester/PANI conductive composites was synthesized using in situ polymerization in the organic solution of Para-toluene sulfonic acid-Sodium dodecyl sulfate (TSA-SDS) with ammonium peroxydisulfate as oxidant, in the presence of different type of stabilizer (solid and liquid). These polyester/PANI composites are developed to achieve protection against electromagnetic rays. Polyanilines were characterized using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), RAMAN spectroscopy, and a standard electrical resistance four-probe method, and the composites were characterized using mechanical properties (tensile strength test), electrical (Surface resistivity) and electromagnetic (shielding effectiveness) measurements and scanning electron microscopy observations. The addition of stabilizer increased the conductivity of polyaniline and the polyester/PANI composite. In addition, the tensile strength of conductive polyester/PANI fibers increased. EMI shielding studies of the conducting polyaniline-coated polyester fabrics showed a shielding effectiveness value between 26.69 and 39.12 dB and were obtained in the frequency range 9.45 GHz.
