Studies on synthesis, characterization and transport properties of PbO doped polyaniline composites

Lead oxide doped polyaniline (PANI/PbO) composite were prepared by chemical oxidative method. A series of composites were prepared by incorporating the content of the PbO (5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%). The PANI/PbO composites were characterized by different techniques such as XRD and SEM to describe the composite structure and morphological information. The results reveal the favorable interaction between the PANI and PbO. As a part of electrical conductivity, the AC and DC conductivity were studies out as function of measured frequency and temperature respectively. The AC conductivity and dielectric constant increases with increase in frequency and the conductivity increases as the content of PbO increased. The DC conductivity observed to be increasing with increase in temperature.
