Electrically conductive polyaniline adhesive

Abstract

Electrically conductive adhesives were prepared using commercial dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) doped polyaniline (PANI) as the conducting material. The adhesives investigated were based on commercial methacrylate/acrylate monomers and UV-initiator. Conductivity, tensile strength and thermal properties of adhesives containing different amounts of PANI/DBSA are reported. Conductivity values up to 1 S/cm were measured. Monomer/PANI/DBSA-systems formed highly transparent films when cured.
