Preparation and characterization of electrically conductive acrylic nanocomposite based on polyaniline nanofibers

In this study electrically conducting polyacrylic-polyaniline nanocomposite was fabricated by polymerization of aniline through the interfacial polymerization method in the presence of polyacrylic latex. CHNS elemental analyses and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results revealed the existence of polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers in the nanocomposite matrix. The resulting film of nanocomposite shows reasonable electrical properties which could be used in anticorrosion and antistatic coatings.
