A new method in the synthesis of conductive polymers; synthesis, characterization, and investigation of photocatalytic properties of polyaniline

As known, in the synthesis of conductive polyaniline polymer from aniline monomer, polymerization medium must be acidic. In order to make acidic, protonic acids such as HCl and H2SO4 are generally used. this study, two have been used One them, we know, is a acid. The other acid zinc ion, which Lewis metal ion has never for purpose up now. Two polymers synthesized prove that can also presence ions instead them polymer, H2SO4(PANI). (PANI-Zn-PSS). characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), diffraction diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis.), thermal analysis techniques (thermo-gravimetric analysis, TGA)/differential DTA) electrical conductivity measurements kit. photocatalytic activities investigated degradation methylene blue (MB) dye aqueous under UV light.
