Abstract
The present work deals with the preparation and properties
of a conductive polymer and effect of paper properties on
conventional silver-based conducting inks. Polyaniline was
prepared using template guided polymerization in the
presence of different lignosulfonic acids. Characterization
of prepared polymers was performed using Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermal
