Electrical and humidity sensing properties of synthesized hydrophosphoric acid doped polyaniline

Abstract

H3PO4 doped polyaniline was synthesized by a single‐step chemical polymerization method using ammonium persulfate as an oxidizing agent. The material characterization was done by SEM, UV–vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The pellets of the synthesized material were used to study the electrical properties, using a four‐probe method. The room temperature electrical conductivity is found to be 0.2201 S/cm. The electrical resistance in response to the varying humid environment (ranging between 20 and 100% RH) is recorded to evaluate the sensitivity of the H3PO4 polyaniline samples toward humidity. The resistance of the samples is found to vary by three orders of magnitude for 20–100% RH and is found to decrease with increasing humidity. The response and recovery time are observed to be 12–14 and 26–30 sec, respectively. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis, characterization, conductivity and antimicrobial study of a novel thermally stable polyphenol containing azomethine group

“…In additionally, inhibition zones increase with increasing amount of tested sample and this case is in agreement with the literature [20,33]. When the antimicrobial activity results of the monomer and polymer were compared to findings reported in the literature [34], it was observed that the synthesized compounds exhibited good antibacterial activity and they have potential usage as antibacterial agent.…”

“…It can be seen from figure that the conductivity of the P(4-MMAP) increased remarkably with the increase in doping time at each temperature, but then stabilized. The increase in the conductivity with temperature is typical for conductive polymers, and this situation is defined as 'thermally activated behavior', in the literature [33]. It can be explained by the increase in the charge transfer efficiency between the polymer chains and the mobility of I 3 dopant anions with temperature [16,33].…”

Poly‐2‐[(4‐methylbenzylidene)amino]phenol: Investigation of thermal degradation and antimicrobial properties

“…The increase in conductivity of P(2‐MBAP) after doping with I 2 by increasing the temperature is similar to that of conductive polymers. This could be explained by the increase in charge transfer efficiency between polymer chain and I 3 − dopant anions with temperature …”

“…Existing chemieresistors are made of conductive polymers (CPs) [7][8][9][10] or metal oxides [11,12]. Metal oxides can detect concentrations of parts per billion (ppb) but operate at elevated temperatures of about 200-300 • C and possess limited selectivity to gases.…”
