Abstract
The composite films of polyaniline and cellulose acetate have been prepared by using two slightly different techniques. Thus-prepared polyaniline: celluloseacetate (PANI:CA) composite films were characterized by FTIR and SEM. The thermo-oxidative degradation was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) while the stability in terms of retention of DC electrical properties was studied in an oxidative environment by two slightly different techniques.
