Figure 5.15 FTIR spectra of PANI-LB, PANI-ES, and PANI-EB/SWNTcomposites obtained by mixing of compounds (spectra M-j, M2, and M3, respectively) and chemical synthesis (spectra Si, S2, and S3, respectively). Spectra Fi, F2, and F3 correspond to the fullerene-doped PAN composite prepared similarly to composites of the S series.

Gao et al. reported the synthesis of aligned coaxial nanowire of carbon nanotubes with polypyrrole or polyaniline using a cyclic voltammetric technique [50]. DC conductivity of the polyaniline-coated nanotube film was measured to be 10 S cm , which is higher than that of polyaniline film electrochemically deposited on a gold plate under the same conditions. This is possibly due to the doping effect associated with carbon nanotubes.

A major application is the synthesis of high molecular weight water-soluble polymers (e.g., polymers and copolymers of acrylamide, acrylic acid, and its salts) for flocculants and tertiary oil recovery. Other uses are the synthesis of polyaniline/CdSe quantum dots composites [49], hybrid polyaniline/carbon nanotube nanocomposites [50], polyani-line-montmorillonite nanocomposites [51], or in reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer-controlled radical polymerization (RAFT) [52].
