Abstract

Electrically conducting organic polymers are a novel class of ‘synthetic metals’ that combine the chemical and mechanical properties of polymers with the electronic properties of metals and semiconductors. Electronically conducting polymers have been studied extensively owing to their applications in energy conversion devices, sensors, electro chromic devices, electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI), electronic circuits etc. Polyaniline - an organic conducting polymer - has been blended with poly methyl methacrylate and the blends have been electrospun to produce conducting nanofibers. The electrospun blends have been characterized to study fiber morphology and formulate conditions for nanofiber formation.
