چکیده
Froln broad-band temperature dependent transport studies on PAni-blends we can now conclude that the electric conductivity of PAni is governed by charge hopping on aInesoscopic scale between metallic crystalline regions (8 nm) separated by thin amorphous

Supramolecular self-assembly of three-dimensional polyaniline and polypyrrole crystals.
Herein, we first report a novel approach for preparing 3D π-π stacked crystals of polyaniline and polypyrrole and show how they self-assemble in a suitable solution environment. 3D crystals of polyaniline and polypyrrole show high charge-transport properties of 130 S cm(-1) and 150 S cm(-1), respectively. Remarkably, the 3D crystals of polyaniline obtain excellent anisotropic conductivity.
متن کاملEect of cations on the diusivity of the charge carriers in polyaniline membranes
The bulk and interfacial transport properties of PANI free-standing membranes have been investigated in acidic media with chloride as common counter-ion and with dierent co-ions, using the a.c. impedance technique with a four-electrode cell. The experimental data were compared to a recently proposed theoretical expression, based on use of the Nernst±Planck equation for mass transport and on sl...
متن کاملPolyaniline Nanofiber Reinforced Pva Nanocomposites: Synthesis, Shi Irradiation and Characterization
This chapter describes the details of the synthesis of polyaniline (PAni) nanofiber reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposites employing in-situ rapid mixing polymerization technique and the effect of SHI irradiation on the physico-chemical properties of the nanocomposites. Modifications in the morphology, conformation and the charge transport properties of the nanocomposites have been i...
متن کاملSorption and Diffusion of Water Vapor and Carbon Dioxide in Sulfonated Polyaniline as Chemical Sensing Materials
A hybrid quantum mechanics (QM)/molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is performed to investigate the effect of an ionizable group (-SO₃(-)Na⁺) on polyaniline as gas sensing materials. Polymers considered for this work include emeraldine base of polyaniline (EB-PANI) and its derivatives (Na-SPANI (I), (II) and (III)) whose rings are partly monosubstituted by -SO₃(-)Na⁺. The hybrid simulation resul...
متن کاملIonic Liquid-assisted Synthesis of Polyaniline/Gold Nanocomposite and Its Biocatalytic Application
In this report, a novel chemical synthesis of polyaniline/gold nanocomposite is explored using ionic liquid (IL) 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. The direct chemical synthesis of polyaniline/gold nanocomposite was initiated via the spontaneous oxidation of aniline by AuCl(4) (-) in IL. A nearly uniform dispersion of polyaniline/Au particles with a diameter of 450 ± 80 nm was pro...
