THE STRUCTURE AND PHYSICOMECHANICAL PROPE RTIES OF ELECTROCONDUCTING COMPOSITES BASED ON POLYANILINE AND MONOMER-SWOLLEN POLYMERS

Electroconducting composites based on polyaniline and polymer matrices such as PET, PVC, plasticized PVC, and blends of PVC with the graft m ethyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer were prepared. In such electroconducting composites, the polyaniline component was shown to b e preferentially localized in the surface layers of polymer films. The se composites were characterized by surface electrical conductivity, w hich was comparable to the electrical conductivity of polyaniline, and by good mechanical properties similar to those of initial polymer mat rices.
