✦ Synopsis

Electrically conducting nylon 6 film was prepared by introducing amide group or cyan group into the nylon 6 film and then introducing Cu,S, 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 Cu,S were studied. Electrical conductivity of Cu,S-treated nylon film was found to be higher by order of lo9 than that of the original nylon 6 film, and then properties of the resulting modified films were investigated.
