Abstract

Methacrylate group containing acid is explored as a curable dopant material for the synthesis of structural composites with polyaniline (PANI). The performance of this material is evaluated using various characterisation techniques to analyse how the material behaves with PANI. Thermal microscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry show promising results of doping of PANI and subsequent curing of the composite. After detailed quantification, the composites were also tested to verify the electrical and mechanical properties, which gave significantly enhanced results with suitable viscosity of the resin.
