摘要

A composite based on polyaniline (PANI) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) with electrical conductivity was developed. Polyaniline was polymerized by chemical oxidation and doped with dodecyl-benzene-sulfonic acid (DBSA). PANI-LDPE composites were prepared via melt blending and the films were obtained by compression molding. The influence of three variables of the blending (temperature, [PANI], rotor speed) on conductivity, microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was studied by means of statistical tools and a 23 experimental design. The results show that the PANI concentration is the most influential variable, which mainly affects the conductivity and the elongation at break of the composites. These changes are related to the microstructure of the composites. Statistically, the other variables don't show significant influence on conductivity and mechanical properties in the studied range.
