Summary:Water hyacinth is one weed plant that has cellulose content of 60% on the stem and is a good absorbent. in this study cellulose extraction from hyacinth has been done through several stages. Polyaniline/cellulose composite (PANi/cellulose) is prepared by an in-situ chemical method using cupric sulphate as an initiator. The representative PANi/cellulose samples are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). On comparing it appears that spectra PANi/cellulose contains vibrational bands due to both PANi and cellulose. This may indicate the formation of PANi/cellulose composite. From the resistance measurement results, it can be seen that with the addition of cellulose to PANi can improve the sensitivity of the polyaniline based moisture sensor
