Abstract:

Authors have been investigating the electronic and mechanical properties of PPy/SWCNT/PVA composites keeping the probable use of this material in making supercapacitors in mind. The micromechanical properties of this ternary conducting polymer composite can be inferred from the Vicker’s microhardness testing. This paper reports that the Hv
value is found increasing with addition of SWCNT and PPy/SWCNT in PPy and PVA matrices, respectively. It is also observed that the Hv values increase for all studied materials upto indentation load 160 g, thereafter it becomes almost constant. The maximum Hv is obtained for the ternary composite having 25 wt% PPy/SWCNT in PVA matrix. This observation confirms the earlier reporting of macromechanical properties of the studied material.
