Dielectric and impedance studies of DBSA doped polyaniline/PVC composites
Polyaniline (PANI) was doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) and then mixed with PVC by Solution blending method to prepare DBSA doped PANI (PAND)/PVC composites. FTIR spectroscopy indicates the strong dipole-dipole interaction between the individual components of the composites. The ac electrical properties of the synthesized composites were investigated by complex impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range of 0.5-10(6) Hz at room temperature. Both dielectric loss factor and permittivity increase with the decrease of frequency exhibiting strong interfacial polarization at low frequency. Addition of PAND in PVC reduces the charge trapping centers by increasing the number of conducting channels participating in the relaxation Process; hence an increase in conductivity is observed.
