Abstract

An attempt has been made to investigate the effect of temperature on the conductivity of polyaniline (PANI). The synthesis of conducting polymer is done by a chemical route in an aqueous medium. The polymer was grown from aqueous solutions employing a range of temperatures (50 C –300 C). The film was deposited by the Sol Gel technique. The change in conductivity is studied by the two probe method. The result shows that with increase in temperature, the conductivity of PANI film decreased. An I-V characterization of PANI film shows ohmic behaviour of the film. The physical properties of synthesized PANI film were characterized by analyzing the results obtained by IR Spectroscopy and to understand the electrochromic window and non linear optical material UV-visible spectroscopy is studied.
