Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) thin film on alumina was prepared by the chemical oxidation of aniline with ammonium peroxydisulphate in acidic aqueous medium. DC conductivity, microwave transmission and reflection, microwave conductivity, shielding effectiveness and microwave dielectric constant of the conducting PANI films are reported. DC conductivity was between 0.15 × 10−3 and 3.13 × 10−3 S/cm. Microwave conductivity was between 0.2 and 10 S/cm. The PANI films coated on alumina gave shielding effectiveness value of −1 to −4 db. The ɛ′ was between 2 and 350 whereas ɛ″ was between 437 and 60. Measurements have been carried over the frequency range of 8.2–18 GHz.
