Investigating the Influence on the Electro-Conductive Properties of Leather as a Result of Natural Aging

Conductive leather and its use in smart products have found a lot of interest. Leather behaves as good insulator, so it was treated with electrically conducting polypyrrole using chemical polymerization technique to give conductive characteristics. The electro-conductive properties are obtained by the double in–situ oxidative pyrrole. electrical samples studied Van Der Pauw method measuring method. transformation process carried out during 2018-2020 period, were preserved room conditions until year 2023. effect natural ageing on is focus this research. results show that environmental factors influence polymer breakdown stability, causing an increase resistance. changes surface resistance, factor, vary from 39.8% 129.9%. Those resistance indicate one major concerns stability samples, performed measurements importance providing information for researchers designers regarding conductivity over time result ageing, which would like work products.
