Pengaruh Penambahan Titanium Dioksida (TiO2) terhadap Sifat Konduktor dari Polianilin (PANI)

— This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of TiO 2 dopant on the electrical conductivity of polyaniline synthesis using the photopolymerization method and characterization with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Diffuse Reflectance UV-Vis (DR UV-Vis). Synthesis of polyaniline was carried out by mixing aniline monomer with Ethylene Glycole Dimetacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinker and Dimethoxy Phenylacetophenone (DMPP) as an initiator, and the addition of TiO 2 dopant as much as 0.006 g, 0.011 g, 0.016 g, 0.021 g and 0.026 g. The obtained PANI and PANI/TiO 2 were measured for electrical conductivity using the Four Point Probe (FPP). The result shows that the optimal electrical conductivity value was 12.60 × 10 -3 S/cm which was owned by PANI added with TiO 2 of 0.006 g.
