Evaluation of DC and AC Conducting Properties of Poly (diaminonaphathalene) Conjugated Polymer Doped in Poly (vinyl alcohol) Films.

Poly (diaminonaphthalene) doped poly (vinyl alcohol) was synthesized by in-situ chemical oxidation polymerization method. The complex conduction mechanism of obtained PDAN doped PVA films were examined by measuring DC and AC conductivity. Non-linear I-V characteristics curve confirming the semiconducting nature of the films at constant temperatures. The DC and AC conductivities of the 0.791g PDAN doped PVA films were (2.041±0.64)×10−5 Scm−1 and (6.28±0.79)×10−6 Scm−1, respectively. The DC conductivity so obtained was six folds larger than earlier reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
