“…Recently, conducting polymer materials have been studied widely in many fields because of their low density, good thermal and chemical stability, reproducibility, and controllable conductivity [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Polyaniline (PANI), which is one of the most promising and extensively investigated conducting polymers, has been applied extensively to several areas, such as supercapacitors [ 14 ], catalysts [ 15 ], sensors [ 16 ], and biological fields [ 17 ], because of its electro-activity, environmental and chemical stability, controllable conductivity, biological compatibility, ease of preparation, and low cost [ 18 ]. Furthermore, the properties of ER fluids based on different forms of PANI synthesized by different methods have been studied extensively [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”
