Abstract :
Due to the high viscosity of Arabic gum (AG)
and its suspension characteristics, it is applicability is
found in medical, lithographic, textiles, paints and
cosmetics industries. However, its workability with
respect to color has not been investigated. The
advancement in technology and the drive to develop new
frontiers in the fabrication of electronic components
using environmentally friendly material has driven this
research to understand the effect of color variation in the
conductivity and resistivity of AG. Instrumentation
method was used to determine the electrical conductivity
and resistivity of the AG sample with respect to color
variations. The result obtained shows that, AG (black)
has the highest conductivity of 7.56 µS/m. whereas AG
(white) has the lowest conductivity of 4.55 µS/m.
However, the results for resistivity were vice versa. It is
concluded that in the fabrication of communication
devices, AG (Black) is more suitable for the fabrication
of semiconductor materials due to its high conductivity
and low resistivity value.
