Abstract:
A method of fabricating a conductive polymer membrane article, comprising:providing a polymer solution; adding to the polymer solution a conductive polymer and conducting nanoparticles to create a spin dope; and electrostatically spinning the spin dope to create a membrane of conductive polymer fibers having an electrical conductivity of at least about 10âˆ’6 S/cm; whereby said polymer solution being selected from the group consisting of polyurethane (PU), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and cellulose acetate; and whereby said conductive polymer being selected from the group consisting of polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyphenol, polyacteylene, and polyohenylene.
