Emulsion polymerization pathway for preparation of organically soluble polyaniline sulfate

A novel process of alcohol promoted polymerization of aniline to form a nanofibrous, fluorescent and highly crystalline polyaniline salt

“…21,22 Conductivity of PANI-H 2 SO 4 prepared without using acid is lower than that of the salt prepared with sulfuric acid. Aniline has been oxidized by ammonium persulfate to PANI-H 2 SO 4 with and without using H 2 SO 4 .…”

A novel polyaniline–maleicacid–dodecylhydrogensulfate salt: Soluble polyaniline powder

“…Nevertheless, few applications have been reported because conducting polymers based on polyaniline exhibit poor physical and mechanical properties and are not soluble in common solvents. Numerous methods have been developed to overcome these shortcomings: the post-processing technique [3,4], the incorporation of side groups into the main chain [5,6], copolymerization [7,8], and emulsion polymerization [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Soluble polyaniline nanofibers prepared via surfactant-free emulsion polymerization

“…The new peak at 1230 cm À1 is the characteristic absorption peak of the protonated PANI, which originates from the bipolaron structure. The strong band characteristically appears at 1150 cm À1 in both FT-IR spectra, indicating an electronic band or a vibrational band of nitrogen quinone [33]. But it intensifies in the doped state because the doping of fumaric acid strengthens the charge delocalization.…”
