| dcterms.abstract | Conducting polymers have been investigated for years, since their discovery in 1977. Among them, polyaniline exhibits high electrical conductivity, leading to versatile applications, such as sensors, actuators, and catalysts. In this thesis, emeraldine salt polyaniline (ES-PANI) and cellulose acetate (CA) have been employed to produce composite fiber and films by three different methods: electrospinning, drop coating, and spin coating. The morphology and size of produced composites were studied by SEM. The results showed that the diameter of electrospun composite fiber decreases to nanosize, generating a nanofiber matrix that immobilize polyaniline particles. Sensing experiments were carried out at room temperature. Three types of sensors, each made by a different method, were tested for their respective responses to ammonia hydroxide. Their sensitivity and stability in ammonium hydroxide environment has been assessed. Ammonia hydroxide at different concentrations of 2.5 ppm, 10 ppm, 25 ppm and 50 ppm, were used as the analyte. As a result, the electrospun sensor exhibited far greater sensitivity and stability than the sensors made by drop coating and spin coating. With increasing concentration, the sensitivity rises, demonstrating this to be a good sensor in the application of ammonium ion detection. | |
