Studying some electrical and mechanical properties of epoxy-polyaniline (pani)‎ composites

Abstract EN

As ordinary known the ability of synthesizing electrical conducting polymer composite is possible but with poor mechanical properties, for the solution of this problem, we carried out this study in order to obtain both properties.

The PANI composite was prepared by using the prepared (EP/glass fiber (composite as substrate for the deposition of the PANI.

The chemical oxidative method was adopted for polymerization of the aniline and simultaneously protonated of PANI with a hydrochloric acid at a concentration of (1M).The oxidation agent (FeCl3.6H2O) was used.

The conductivity results showed that the prepared composite lies within semiconductors region (1.7×10-3(S.cm-1)).

The Hall Effect measurement showed a p-type behavior for the prepared composite.

The creep and tensile behavior was studied and concluded that PANI Predicated on the EP / glass fiber composite has no remarkable effect on the mechanical creep and tensile behavior as compared with the untreated composites with PANI.

But have higher creep resistance and ultimate strength.
