Abstract

Polypyrrole (PPy) doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid was synthesized and was blended with compatible polymer PMMA in chloroform. Flexible and free-standing films with compositions PPy: PMMA = 10: 90, 20: 80, 30: 70, and 50: 50 were obtained. The percentage of crystallinity and particle size of synthesized polymers were estimated from X-rays diffraction studies. Scanning Electron Micrographs showed that phase separation was observed and compatibility of the mixture decreased with increase of PMMA content. The dielectric measurements were performed in the frequency range 0.1 kHz–1 MHz in temperature range 303–473 K. The frequency dependent conductivity (σac) obeyed a power law of frequency with an exponent s < 1. Electric modulus formalism exhibits a peak in frequency. The peak of conductivity relaxation shifted towards higher frequencies and the magnitude of relaxation decreased with the increase of PMMA content in the composites.
