Conductivity studies of conducting liquid crystal polymer with low 2-Acrylamido-2-Methyl-1-Propanesulfonic Acid content: article / Siti Khairunnisa Ahmad, Dr. Nurul Fadhilah Kamalul Aripin and Sakinah Mohd Alauddin

Low content of conducting block which 2-Acrylamido-2- Methyl-1-Propanesulfonic Acid (AMPSA) are synthesized with liquid crystal polymer which is Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) with ratio sample 10%, 25% and 50% of AMPSA to the MMA. This sample was synthesized with randomly polymerized structure and was demonstrated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Hioki 3532-50 (EIS) for conductivity studies. The conductivities of the sample increases with increasing of ratio AMPSA to the MMA at temperature range 70°C and 80°C. Based on the study of dc conductivity versus 1000/T, the temperature dependency with conductivity using of Arrhenius plot and Vogele-TammanneFulcher (VTF) model are discussed.
