Synthesis of conductive adhesives based on epoxy resin and polyaniline.DBSA using the in situ polymerization and physical mixing procedures

Electrically conductive adhesives based on epoxy-anhydride system containing polyaniline (PAni) doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) have been successfully developed and characterized. The blends were prepared by physical mixing and by in situ polymerization of aniline within epoxy matrix. The in situ polymerization procedure contributes for the formation of a conducting pathway with lower amount of PAni.DBSA. A conductivity as low as...
