Abstract: | The electrical conductivity of polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) – polysulfone (PSF) blend films have been measured by studying the I–V characteristics in the temperature range of 298–398 K. The results are shown by measuring the dependence of current on field, temperature, and blending compositions in the form of I–V characteristics and analysis has been made by interpretation of Poole–Frenkel, Schottky ln (J) vs. T plots, Richardson and Arrhenius plots. For individual polymers, the conduction mechanism observed to be a Poole–Frenkel type. On blending, the charge conduction appears to be the Schottky emission at lower temperature while Poole–Frenkel mechanism at higher temperature. The analysis of these results suggests that Pool–Frenkel mechanism is mainly responsible for the observed conduction. The conductivity was found to increase with an increase in the polysulfone concentration in the blend; it could be justified in terms of mobility of charge carriers. It is found that mobility of charge carriers increases with the increase in polysulfone concentration in the blend. |
