Abstract

Blends of poly (vinyl chloride) and poly (ethylene oxide) with the addition of carbon black as filler was prepared via solution casting technique to fabricate a conductive polymer film. Besides, poly (ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether) (PEGDE) was added into the formulation in order to improve its properties. The surface morphology of the conductive polymer film was characterized via scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the conductivity of the film was greatly enhanced by incorporating the PEGDE as the surface modifier in the PVC/PEO conductive polymer film.
