Polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles doped with the dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) were prepared and these nanoparticles were electrospun with nylon 6 as matrix material into fiber web. Depending on the contents and concentrations of PANI and nylon 6, either nylon 6 nanofibers (∼96 nm) or PANI‐nylon 6 composite nanofibers (∼12 nm) were obtained. The electrical conductivity of PANI(DBSA)–nylon 6 electrospun fiber web was lower than that of PANI(DBSA)‐nylon 6 film because of the low crystallinity of the PANI(DBSA)–nylon 6 composite electrospun fiber web. However, it showed that the PANI–nylon 6 composite nanofibers would have applications as the nanowires for connecting the microelectromechanical system (MEMS). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
