Organic acid doped polyaniline derivatives

Soluble poly (o-toluidine) (POT), poly(o-anisidine) (PAs) and poly (o-chloroaniline) (PCAn) were doped with camphorsulfonic acid (CSA). The conductivity and UV-Vis spectra of the CSA-doped POT, PAs and PCAn were studied. These properties were found to be dependent on the solvent used. The cast films from m-cresol solution exhibit more effective doping and higher conductivity.

Solution properties of doped polyaniline

Solution properties of polyaniline (PAn) doped by camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) were examined. PAn-CSA behaves like a polyelectrolyte to different extents depending on the solvent used. In an m-cresol/chloroform solution, PAn-CSA exhibits an expanded chain conformation because of its polyelectrolytic properties. Dilute and concentrated solution properties of PAn-CSA indicate that PAn-CSA is a semirigid polymer which has strong interchain interactions.

New progress in conducting polyaniline

New synthesis system was established to prepare polyaniline (PAn) with controlled molecular weight. The synthesized PAn was completely soluble in many organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). The molecular aggregation due to the interaction between PAn and NMP molecules was found in dilute PAn/NMP solution. The gelatin of concentrated PAn/NMP solution was a physical crosslinking between PAn molecules with the help of NMP through hydrogen bonding. A gelatin mechanism was proposed.

The rheological properties of polyaniline solution

This paper presents our work on the rheological properties of the solution of polyaniline (PAn) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). The results indicate that the solution's non-Newtonian property becomes more prominent with the increase in solution concentrations exhibiting the behavior of pseudo-plastic fluid. Besides, there is a critical concentration C-v (around 0.06 g/ml), beyond which the viscosity of the PAn/NMP solution takes a sudden increase. with temperature rising, both the viscosity and the thixotropy of the solution decrease, implying that there exist physical cross-linking interactions between the molecular chains in the solution.

POLYANILINE-DISPERSED MERCURY-ELECTRODE FOR THE DETECTION OF MONOCHLORAMINE AND DICHLORAMINE

A novel type of electrochemical detector based on a polyaniline-dispersed mercury-coated glassy carbon chemically modified electrode was investigated for the detection of monochloramine and dichloramine. A polyaniline dispersed-mercury modified electrode, which was prepared by coating polyaniline on a thin mercury film electrode using fast-sweep voltammetry, was developed. The selectivity could be altered using various counter ions incorporated into the polymer. The results indicated that the use of a conducting polymer-based electrochemical sensor for the selective determination of chloramine is a feasible approach.
