Synthesis of electrically conductive vinyl copolymers

Polypyrrole nanoparticles as a thermal transducer of NIR radiation in hot-melt adhesives

“…Great efforts have been made to improve PPy processability, and various approaches have been developed. One approach was to use a copolymerization method, 11,12 in which graft, block or random conductive copolymers are prepared. The other approach was to prepare composites, [13][14][15][16][17] in which a conductive polymer was incorporated into an insulating polymer matrix.…”

Synthesis and characterization of crystalline poly(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)aniline) microspheres

“…The copolymerization method, in which graft, block or random conductive copolymers are formed. 42 The polymerization of N-alkyl substituted aniline has been reported to proceed through N-C coupling, whilst the polymerization of N-phenyl aniline proceeds through the 4,4-phenyl-phenyl coupling mechanism. [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] In the present study, we intend to investigate the kinetics of the oxidative chemical polymerization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl) aniline (NHEA) in an aqueous medium using ammonium persulphate (APS) as an oxidant in HCl medium.…”

Preparation and characterization of aniline/acrylonitrile nanocomposites using various surfactants in aqueous media

“…To improve the processability of polyaniline various approaches have also been developed: (i) the utilization of a soluble 'precursor' method, in which a processable precursor polymer is first prepared in an appropriate form and then chemically converted into the final conducting polymer [7][8][9]; (ii) formation of conductive blends/composites [10][11][12][13][14]; (iii) formation of PAni filled interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) [15][16][17] and (iv) the copolymerization method, in which graft, block or random conductive copolymers, which are processable were prepared [18][19][20]. Obviously, materials with relatively high conductivity can be prepared by method (i); however, all the conductive polymers cannot be prepared by this method.…”
