Abstract. In this study, the electrical properties of polyamide/polyaniline composites are investigated by ac measurements of the electrical conductivity of polyamide 6 and 12 matrices containing various concentrations of polyaniline. A percolative behavior was detected for both types of films. Low percolation threshold was recorded for PA12 matrices. The temperature effect was also investigated. It has been shown that there exist two thermally activated processes in PA12 matrices.
