DOPANT, IMMERSION TIME EFFECT, AND HYDROLYSIS ONTO POLYANILINE/BACTERIAL- COMPOSITES: CONDUCTIVITY STUDIES

The composite of conductive polyaniline was synthesized using the in situ chemical polymerization methods on cellulose to form PANI-cellulose composites. Polyaniline can be composited with a cellulose matrix (nata de coco) due to its abundance, low price, and environmental friendliness. Ammoniumperoxodisulfate (APS) was used as an initiator forthe oxidative polymerization of aniline. Characterization of PANI-Cellulose Bacterial composite was drawn using FT-IR and SEM, while the conductivity and electric quantities both using LCR-meter, FT-IR spectra, and SEM The PANI-cellulose bacterial composite with the various concentration dopant of H₂SO₄ methods has the highest conductivity than PANI-cellulose bacterial composite with the dopant of HCl methods.
