Study on electrical conductivity of 2-vinylpyridine-methyl methacrylate copolymer in presence of cobalt acetate
2-Vinyl pyridine (2VP)-methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymers with different molar ratios were prepared. Their electrical properties were studied in the presence of Co(CH3COO)(2). It was found that the electrical properties of the copolymer were changed by altering the molar ratio of 2VP : MMA and by varying the concentration of Co(CH3COO)(2). The highest electrical conductivity was found when the 2VP : MMA molar ratio was 1 : 1.
