A new route toward graphene nanosheet/polyaniline composites using a reactive surfactant as polyaniline precursor

Water-soluble polyaniline/graphene composites as materials for energy storage applications

“…Even after the lasting ultrasonic treatment graphene doesn't form homogeneous composites. Some approaches have been applied to suppress graphene platelets agglomeration and formation of stable and well waterdispersable graphene/PANI compositions: i(i) use of aniline surfactants (anilinium salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonate or dodecylsulfate) [24], but removing of surfactant from final composites is a necessary step. (ii) use of functionalized graphene as dopant of PANI.…”

One‐pot synthesis of polypyrrole/AgCl composite nanotubes and their antibacterial properties

“…1. Introduction: Inorganic-organic composite materials with desired morphologies and unique structures have attracted immense interest over the decades because of their tailored and designed performance, and remarkable potential applications in catalysis, optic-electronic devices, and biological and medical fields [1][2][3][4]. In particular, much attention has been focused on the composites of inorganic nanoparticles in polymer matrices because of the combination of features exhibited by the inorganic nanoparticles and the flexibility offered by the polymer host.…”

Surfactants with aromatic headgroups for optimizing properties of graphene/natural rubber latex composites (NRL): Surfactants with aromatic amine polar heads

“…Compared with other aromatic compounds used for graphene dispersions, these newly synthesized anilinium surfactants promise greater dispersion quality with lower loading and cheaper raw materials [14][15][16]67]. As such surfactants based on anilinium moieties are very versatile, they can be custom designed with other hydrophobic tails by simple counterion exchange, and they can be employed for a broad range of graphene-based applications, as shown here, or reaction templates for polymerization as demonstrated elsewhere [20].

“…The surfactants TC3Ph3 were custom-made and synthesized as detailed previously [19]. The anilinium surfactants however were synthesized according to the previous method by Vega-Rios et al [20] with certain modifications (see below). The synthesized surfactants were characterized by 1 H NMR Spectroscopy detailed in Supplementary material.…”
