Popis: Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) measurements of P{\omicron}lyaniline/Graphene oxide composites were conducted for an as-prepared and a thermally annealed specimen, respectively, from 15K to room temperature. Electrical conductivity values of the annealed composite display a very modest rise denoting the important contributions of the GO component to achieving electrical stability of the polymer. Patterns of the dc conductivity as a function of temperature also reveal a metal to insulator transition around 75K. The transition is dominated by two key factors; temperature and annealing process. Metal-like and insulating features are subsequently detected, as well, and accordingly described to provide a qualitative inspection of the charge transfer mechanisms involved
