This paper reports the preparation and characterization of nanocomposites consisting of epoxy resin (EP) and conducting polyaniline nanowires doped with formic acid (PANI-FA). The percolation threshold of this nanocomposites was obtained at 8 wt.% of PANI-FA loading. On the other hand, 8 wt.% of PAN...
