Morphology and structure of conducting polymers

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy behavior of poly(aniline) nanocomposite electrodes modified by Layer-by-Layer deposition

“…In this way, the morphology plays an important role in any application, once depending on the synthesis, counter ion, structural defects and crosslink defects presence, for instance, different morphologies can be obtained, and so on tunable electrochemical behavior [9][10][11]. Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the most studied conducting polymer in the literature due to its broad synthetic methods, good stability, distinct electrochemical and optical properties [12,13].…”

Conducting Polymer and Conducting Composite Strain Sensors on Textiles

“…Conducting polymers are an attractive choice for these sensors, they have a high resistance, are flexible and can easily be printed. There have been past studies of polypyrrole and polyaniline gas sensors [1][2][3]. More recently, strain sensors have been used in a number of formats, including strips of Lycra elastic fabric impregnated with conducting polymer [4] and impregnated foams as compression sensors for shoes [5].…”

Chemical Synthesis of Polyaniline Inverse Opals by Templating Colloidal Crystals in the Presence of Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid

“…It can be observed that the PANI appears to be composed of particulates of tens of nanometers, as reported in the literature. [39,40] In addition, the larger pores are assembled in a hexagonal arrangement and connected by symmetrical holes, which indicates an inverse opal structure of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous nature. The center-to-center distance between the pores is 452 AE 24 nm, and the linear shrinkage is about 7% with respect to the diameter of the PS spheres (485 nm).…”
