Unstirred Polymerization of Conductive Micro/Nano-Structural Copolymers from N-Ethylaniline with Aniline
Translated Abstract
Conductive micro/nano-structural poly(N-ethylaniline-co-aniline)(PNAAN) copolymers were synthesized via unstirred polymerization of N-ethylaniline(NA) and aniline(AN) with ammonium peroxydisulfate as an oxidant.Morphology,structure and electrical conductivity of the copolymers were characterized by means of SEM,TEM,FT-IR,UV-vis,and four-probe techniques.It is found that the structure,morphology and properties of the copolymer strongly depend on the NA/AN molar ratio.PNAAN(10/90) copolymer nanofibers in diameters of 139 nm186 nm and lengths up to 4.2 μm were prepared with APS/comonomer molar ratio of 1.0,whereas PNAAN(50/50) copolymer spheres with smooth surface(1.3 μm3.6 μm in outer diameter) were produced during the same above-mentioned polymerization conditions.While the PNAAN(90/10) copolymer self-assembled hollow microspheres with coarse surface(4.45 μm in outer diameter) were obtained.The SEM image reveals that the PNAAN(50/50) copolymer spheres are constructed with their own nanofibers by self-assembly process.The as-synthesized PNAAN copolymers possess good room-temperature electroconductivity and solubility.
