Abstract: Phenylenediamine-oxalic acid nanofibers were chemically synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization in the presence of ammonium persulfate as oxidant. In this paper we report a simple method to develop Phenylenediamine (PDA) doped with oxalic acid (OA) having nanofibers morphology. The morphology of synthesized Phenylenediamine doped with oxalic acid nanofibers were analyzed by SEM, UV-Vis. As the concentration of oxalic acid increases conductivity goes on increasing.

Keywords: nanofibers, conducting polymer, organic acid dopant, Phenylenediamine, spectroscopy.
