Influence of doped polyaniline on the interaction of Pu/PAni blends and on its microwave absorption properties

Abstract

In this work, the influence of polyaniline (PAni) doped with both camphorsulfonic acid (PAni‐CSA) and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (PAni‐DBSA) on polyurethane (PU)/PAni blends was studied by rheological and morphological analyses. The effect of doped polyaniline on the attenuation of incident microwave radiation, in the frequency range from 8.0 to 12.0 GHz, was also investigated. The complex viscosity (η*) of PAni‐DBSA blends is observed to vary more significantly as a function of resting time than PAni‐CSA blends. This behavior is attributed to a better dispersion of PAni particles into the matrix on account of the presence of smaller agglomerates, as observed by optical and electron microscopy. However, this behavior has not been determinant on microwave absorption by the blends, with those that contain PAni‐CSA showing higher attenuation values. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Ternary nanocomposite comprising MnO2, GQDs, and PANI as a potential structure for humidity sensing applications

“…A few disadvantages are limiting the wide-spread employment of PANI and opposing its functionality and application such as insolubility in some solvents and its limited mechanical stability 43 . Characteristically, the humidity sensing devices using metal oxide constrain a few undesirable specifications such as increased lag, lowered response, and prolonged recovery and response times 44 , 45 .…”

Radar absorbing materials based on titanium thin film obtained by sputtering technique

“…RAM present innumerous applications, as in equipment electromagnetic shielding employed in automotive and aerospace industries and military technology, as well as in electrical and electronic devices and systems for wireless communication (Biscaro, Rezende and Faez, 2008;Bregar, 2004;Folgueras and Rezende, 2007;Hashsish, 2002;Nie et al, 2007;Rezende, Silva and Martin, 2000). Considering the complexity of the aeronautical engineering area, technological advances involving RAM depend on the development of materials to attend a wide range of frequencies, in other words, wavelengths varying from m to mm.…”

Effect of oxidants and anionic surfactants on the morphology and permittivity of polypyrrole and its blends with epoxy resin

“…This material class has been extensively studied and used in different areas, such as electromagnetic interference shields, sensors, static charge dissipation, and electromagnetic radiation absorbers [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . Preparing blends of insulating polymers with ICPs in order to obtain radar absorbing materials (RAM), also called microwave absorbers, has as important data the electric conductivity and the complex parameters of electric permittivity of the material [3,6,13,15,16] .…”
