Synthesis of Uniform Polyaniline Nanofibers through Interfacial Polymerization
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 product. FESEM results show that polyaniline has nano-fiber morphology. XRD results show the crystalline properties of polyaniline nanofiber, and FTIR results confirmed the formation of polyaniline in different monomer/oxidant molar ratios. This study provides a better understanding on the synthesis of uniform polyaniline nanofibers through interfacial polymerization.

Fibrillar Growth in Polyaniline
Chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline in dilute aqueous acids using an ammonium peroxydisulfate oxidant proceeds via the intermediacy of large, colorless aggregates that act as ‘seeds’ in orchestrating the overall morphology of the product polyaniline. Observed for the first time by continuously monitoring the polymerization by static and dynamic light-scattering (LS) measurements, these...

متن کاملPolyaniline nanofibers: a unique polymer nanostructure for versatile applications.
Known for more than 150 years, polyaniline is the oldest and potentially one of the most useful conducting polymers because of its facile synthesis, environmental stability, and simple acid/base doping/dedoping chemistry. Because a nanoform of this polymer could offer new properties or enhanced performance, nanostructured polyaniline has attracted a great deal of interest during the past few ye...
