High resistivity (or low electrical conductance values) materials have found their applicational foot in those domains of electrical-electronical where resistors, heat filaments, space heaters, shunt resistors electric irons and etc. are broadly exercised on. This paper investigates the effect of addition of polyaniline (PANI) on the properties of copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles. Sol-Gel method was used to synthesize CuO nanoparticles while PANI was obtained by oxidative polymerization process. The structural characterizations of the composite material and the effect of PANI on the CuO nanoparticles are studied through FESEM, XRD, FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy. XRD confirmed the formation of CuO without the presence of CuO 2 . FESEM showed the clear formation monoclinic structure of CuO. EDX revealed that Cu and O-atoms are in stoichiometry, thus confirming the formation of CuO bond and peaks of C, N and O are also obtained depicting the PANI formation. The characteristic peaks are obtained for both CuO (402.99-678.74 cm −1 ) and PANI (1109.94-1568.54 cm −1 and 3058.81-3436.21 cm −1 ) through FTIR. The Raman analysis of CuO sample showed 3 peaks (290.01 cm −1 , 333.51 cm −1 and 624.81 cm −1 ) and while PANI showed peaks in the range from 1166.48 cm −1 – 1582.81 cm −1 . The dielectric properties were investigated using Maxwell-Wagner model and Koop’s phenomenological theory. The fore-mentioned composite material can also be considered to be devised in a resistor.
