Abstract:This research outlines
the fabrication of polymeric membranes and
films of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), prepared via electrospinning
and extrusion, respectively. These materials were subsequently coated
with polyaniline (PANi) by using the in situ chemical
polymerization technique. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs
revealed that the best coatings were achieved when 3 and 30 min of
contact time with the monomeric solution were used for the membrane
and film, respectively. Additionally, Fourier transform infr… Show more
