Structural and transport properties of thermally processable conducting polymer: polyaniline protonated with diphenyl phosphate

Effects of Chlorinated Polypropylene on the Conformation of Polypropylene in Polypropylene/Chlorinated Polypropylene/Polyaniline Composites

“…Among conductive polymers, polyaniline has the best potential to become economically competitive, for its cheap materials, simple synthetic method, and stability in environment [1]. Although polyaniline has many merits, it is very difficult to be processed in usual methods used in conventional polymers due to its strong intermolecular and intramolecular interactions [2]. For these reasons, wide scale industrial application of polyaniline has been strongly impeded over several years.…”

“…For these reasons, wide scale industrial application of polyaniline has been strongly impeded over several years. Many new protonating agents such as sulfonic acids, phosphoric acid esters [2,3], and phosphoric acid [4] have been introduced in recent years in order to improve the processability of polyaniline. To be worthy and mentioned, it was Cao et al [5] that firstly introduced sulfonic acid as a protonating agent, and this made polyaniline possible to be processed in solvent.…”

“…In particular, polyaniline (PANI) is considered to have the highest potential to become an economically competitive conductive polymer due to the cheap materials required for its production, simple synthetic method, and environmental stability [1]. Although PANI has many merits, it is very difficult to process with the standard methods used for conventional polymers because of its strong intermolecular and intramolecular interactions [2]. Thus, large-scale industrial applications of PANI have been hindered for several years.…”
