RESUMO

Composites with conductive properties have been proposed as materiais in which different physical properties of polymers are combined. In this work a composite consisting of surface layers of polyaniline, PANI, deposited on films of poly(ethylene terephtalate), PET, were prepared. In order to deposit the PANI the PET film were immersed in the solution in which the synthesis reaction is carried out. The parameters of the synthesis usually optimized in order to obtain a layer of PANI with enough thickness, high electric conductivity and good adhesion to the PET substrate. The synthesis was monitored by means of open circuit potential and also using UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and the electric conductivity of the PANI layer on PET. Using the optimized conditions, at room temperature and polymerization time of 20 minutes, a composite with a surface conductivity of the order of 10 S/em, good adhesion and a reasonable optical transparence can be obtained. Such composite were characterized employing electron scanning microscope, atomic force microscope, optic microscope, X-rays diffractometry, differential scanning calorimeter, thermal dynamic analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, thermally stimulated depolarization current, electric thermal stability of the conductivity, electric breakdown measurements, adhesion measurements and solubility of the PANI layer. It was also found that the thermal treatment leads to an improvement of the adhesion properties of the PANllayer. It was found that a corona discharge could be used to dope the PANI layer of a dedoped composite, leading to a new method for doping polymeric materiais. Such process is performed under dry conditions and gave a conductivity of the order 0.3 S/em. The process efficiency is dependent of the relative air humidity of the corona chamber and the thermal stability of the electric conductivity is betler when compared with the composites obtained by doping in solution.
