Gamma Irradiation Enables Template-Free Synthesis of Polyaniline Nanofibers and Nanorods

Electrochemical Synthesis of Polyaniline Nanoparticles and Nanofibers

The electrochemical deposition of polyaniline nanofibers and nanoparticles have been investigated on gold electrodes by cyclic voltammetry and their morphology by high resolution scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The type and dimensions of the nanostructures obtained depend on deposition conditions such as monomer concentration, scan rate and electrical potential. We hav...

Spectroscopy of Polyaniline Nanofibers

Green Synthesis of Novel Polyaniline Nanofibers: Application in pH Sensing.

An optically active polyaniline nanomaterial (PANI-Nap), doped with (S)-naproxen, was developed and evaluated as a potent pH sensor. We synthesized the material in one pot by the addition of the dopant, (S)-naproxen, prior to polymerization, followed by the addition of the oxidizing agent (ammonium persulfate) that causes polymerization of the aniline. This green chemistry approach allowed us t...

Synthesis of Uniform Polyaniline Nanofibers through Interfacial Polymerization

The present paper aims to study the preparation of polyaniline nanofibers through simple interfacial polymerization. Ammonium persulfate, hydrochloric acid and chloroform were used as oxidant, dopant and organic solvent respectively. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were used to analyze the produ...

Rapid and Template Free Synthesis of ZnO Nanorods and Analysis of their LPG Sensing Properties

ZnO nanorods (diameters∼25 nmand lengths∼145-150 nm) were synthesized by using a simple solochemical method and their LPG sensing properties were investigated. The ZnO nanorods exhibited outstanding gas sensingcharacteristics such as, higher gas response (∼502 to 50ppm LPG at 300 ◦C), extremely rapid response(∼6-7 s), fast recovery (∼6–7 s), excellent reproducibility, good sensing selectivity a...
