Description

The objective of this study is to determine the Electrical conductivity and Dielectric constant of the poly (styrene) when blended with poly (vinyl acetate) measured at different temperatures (313K, 323K, 333K and 343K) and at the different frequencies (1KHz to 1MHz) using 4284 LCR meter. It is found that a c conductivity of thin film varies with temperature for all values of frequencies and it varies with increase in frequencies at constant temperature. The dielectric constant also varies with the increasing of the temperature of blends. In this blend the miscibility exists as evidenced by FTIR spectroscopy.
