Conducting poly(acrylamide) films were synthesized by exposing the polyacrylamide films impregnated with ammonium peroxodisulphate, an oxidizing agent, to hydrochloric acid vapor and then to aniline vapor. The effects of varying the exposure time to aniline vapor and the resulting composite films of polyacrylamide–polyaniline were characterized by different methods. The mode of conduction has also been studied. The conductivity of the resulting composites reached up to 10 −5 s/cm 2 . © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 69: 841–844, 1998
