Improved conductivity and electrical properties of polyaniline in the presence of rare-earth cations and magnetic field

Biodegradable conductive composites of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and polyaniline nanofibers: Preparation, characterization and radiolytic effects

“…This pattern is related to amorphous polyanilines synthesized in the presence of surfactant agents such as SDS and dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) [54]. When prepared in the absence of such agents or secondary dopants, PANI diffractograms tend to exhibit a single broad weak peak at 2" = 24.7° [54,55]. This evidence may indicate a direct inclusion of SDS surfactant used in the emulsion polymerization.…”

“…In neat PANIHCl diffractogram, two broad, relatively intense peaks at 20.3 and 25.1° can be seen, along with two less intense 8.5 and 15.0° (Figure 4d). This pattern is related to amorphous polyanilines synthesized in the presence of surfactant agents such as SDS and dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) [54]. When prepared in the absence of such agents or secondary dopants, PANI diffractograms tend to exhibit a single broad weak peak at 2" = 24.7° [54,55].…”

Effect of the applied magnetic field on formation of complex polyaniline films

“…The effect of strong and stationary applied magnetic fields on formation and properties of polyaniline (PANI) has also been studied in the literature [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. In the majority of these works two aspects of the applied magnetic field are considered, i.e., how strong magnetic fields of the order of 0.4-10 T affect chemical polymerization or electropolymerization of aniline, and how strong magnetic fields affect properties of PANI molecules with liquid crystalline groups or rareearth dopants.…”

Particularly, it was found that the applied magnetic field effects on aniline polymerization [15,16,19] and on specific morphology of the resulting PANI particles [12,14], that PANI molecules can be oriented in a solution [22], and that PANI films polymerized under a strong magnetic field applied along the film surface become anisotropic and show improved electroactivity and conductivity [18,20,21].…”

Chemical synthesis and characterization of polyaniline nanofiber doped with gadolinium chloride

“…10 Recently, it was reported that PANI could interact with many heavy metal ions [11][12][13] and rare-earth cations. 10,14,15 Because rareearth elements have special electronic properties, viz. their f-f electronic transitions are relatively insensitive to perturbations in their chemical environment, complex formation of organic polymers with lanthanide ions is of particular interest.…”
