ABSTRACT Polyaniline (PANI) encapsulating silver chloride nanoparticles embedded on the surface of gelatin nanofibers were prepared. The interaction of PANI/gelatin with AgCl and crystallinity of the composites are characterized by FTIR and XRD. The surface framework of the composites was studied by SEM and TEM. Increase of AgCl has brought out significant increase of DC conductivity of the composites. The hydrophilic GEL acts as a plasticizer in the PANI/GeL-AgCl increases the mobility of charge carriers in the composites which influences the conductivity. Such composites are used in electric devices, sensors, and functional coatings for their high electrical conductivity.
