| Abstract: | Electrically conducting nylon 6 films was prepared by introducing amide group or cyan group into the nylon 6 film and then introducing CuxS, which is known as the p-type semiconductor, into the grafted nylon films. The graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) and acrylonitrile (AN) onto nylon 6 film was investigated using ceric salt as the initiator. The graft yield was influenced by the concentration of ceric salt, sulfuric acid and monomer, and the reaction time. The optimum conditions for the introducing of CuxS were studied. Electrical conductivity of CuxS-treated nylon film was found to be higher by order of 109 than that of the original nylon 6 film, and then properties of the resulting modified films were investigated. |
