Poly (o-methoxy aniline): solubility, deprotonation-protonation process in solution and cast films

Preparation and characterization of castor oil‐based polyurethane/poly(o‐methoxyaniline) blend film

“…19 In the literature 13 we found that the electric conductivity of POMA film on a glass sheet, doped by p-toluene sulfonic acid (TSA) obtained from different solvent, is in the order of 10 À3 S/cm as found in our blend. To free-standing POMA films obtained from 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (NMP) casting solution, doped in HCl solution the conductivity is around 1.3 S/cm three orders of magnitude higher than what is found in this work.…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] In the present work, Polyurethane (PU)/POMA blend films were prepared and morphological, optical, and electrical properties were investigated using FTIR and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurement. The choice for POMA was because this polymer is easily soluble in volatile organic solvent, 13,14 which allows thin films to be obtained by spin coating technique, with strong interaction between the blend components.…”

Surface Characterization of Absorbing Polymer Films Deposited on Transparent Glasses

“…The absorption spectra of the PANI samples showed three bands at about 362 nm (I), 420 nm (II) and 830 nm (III), which are typical of protonated, salt PANIs, according to results previously reported in the literature [17]. The absorption at band III shifts to longer wavelengths (ca 10-20 nm) with the reaction time because of an increase of the polymer chain conjugation during the progress of polymerization.…”

Toward Amorphous Conductors: Enhanced Conductivity of Doped Polyaniline via Interchain Crosslinking Promoted by Acid‐Functionalized Aluminum Quinolines

“…The major drawback of conductive PANI is its low solubility, which spoils the use of the material in solution-processing techniques. Many strategies have been proposed in the literature to render the doped chains more soluble as well as highly conductive, for example using surfactant dopants, [9a-c] adding functional groups to the polymer backbone, [10] blending the polymer with carbon nanotubes [11] and favoring the formation of crystalline domains via self-assembling dopants. [12] In this work, we demonstrate that a suitable design of the dopant counterion can improve charge transport in the amorphous phase of the polymer, thus allowing us to obtain a material with good conductivity without the requirement of a high degree of crystallinity.…”
