Nanostructured polyaniline

Figure 4. Cyclic voltammograms of nanostructured polyaniline composite films in strong acid solutions (aq. HC1 or H2S04) (a) GCE PANI/PVS (b) Au PDMA-PSS (c) Au PANSA and (d) Pt PANI-PVS-PESA.

Cyclic nanostructured polyanilines (Figure 2.23) have been synthesized by means of a simple modified aqueous/organic interfacial polymerization with the aid of PAA [405]. The cyclic PANl nanostructures were formed by severe secondary overgrowth through the electrostatic interaction between anihne/oligoaniline and PAA chains. The average diameter of the obtained cychc structure was ca. 400 nm and its conductivity was 1 S cm . ...

The effect of loading (0.5,1.0 and 2.0 wt%) nanostructured polyaniline (PANI) on the physiochemical, physicomechanical, morphological and thermal properties of soybean oil-based polyester nanocomposites has also been reported. The nanocomposites of conjugated linseed oil, acrylic acid and divinylbenzene are synthesised using modified montmoriUonite clay. The resultant nanocomposites exhibit a storage modulus in the range of 17-79 MPa at the glass transition temperature compared to the pristine polymer which is 2.1 MPa. The nanocomposites show better thermal stability (up to 200°C) than the pristine polymer.
