Abstract
A conducting polymer, polyaniline (PANI), was synthesized in the presence of dispersed pulp fibers in the polymerization reaction to yield PANI/pulp composite fibers, which were then formed into a conducting paper sheet. The paper surface was observed using scanning electron microscopy, and electrical conductivity and electron spin resonance measurements were performed. This simple, convenient method for preparing organic conducting materials should prove useful for industrial applications, and the present results encourage further study in the new field of ‘textile electronics’.Keywords
