Polyacrylonitrile polystyrene sulfonic acid

Composite conductive fibers based on poly(3,4-ethylene-diox)d hiophene]-polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT-PSS) solution blended with polyacrylonitrile (PAN] were obtained via wet spinning. The influence of draw ratio on the morphology, structure, thermal degradation, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties of the resulting fibers was investigated. The results revealed that the PEDOT-PSS/PAN composite conductive fibers crystallization, electrical conductivity and mechanical properties were improved with the increase of draw ratio. The thermal stability of the fibers was almost independent of draw ratio, and only decreased slightty with draw ratio. Besides, when the draw ratio was 6, the conductivity of the PEDOT-PSS/PAN fibers was 5.0 S cm, ten times the conductivity when the draw ratio was 2 (Fig 5.10]. ... [Pg.146]

Other studies in 2000 by Drew et al. reported that it is very difficult to spin fibers of PANI complexed to sulfonated polystyrene (PANFSPS), even when solutions containing sodium chloride and dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid sodium salt were used to lower the surface tension and thereby enhance electrospinning [16,17]. However, PANFSPS nanofibers can be produced by adding a carrier polymer such as PEO, polyacrylonitrile, or polyurethane. Also reported was the use of electrostatically layered sulfonated polystyrene as a template for the surface polymerization of conjugated polymers in their conducting form. Enzymatic synthesis of PANI and a copolymer of pyrrole and PEDOT was done on electrospun nanofiber... [Pg.169]

Electrical properties have been reported on numerous carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, including carbon nanoflber-modified thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers [53], low-density polyethylene [54], ethylene vinyl acetate [55], wire coating varnishes [56], polydimethyl siloxane polypyrrole composites [50], polyacrylonitrile [59], polycarbonate [58], polyacrylonitrile-polycarbonate composites [58], modified chrome polymers [59], lithium trifluoromethane sulfonamide-doped polystyrene-block copolymer [60], boron-containing polyvinyl alcohols [71], lanthanum tetrafluoride complexed ethylene oxide [151, 72, 73], polycarbonate-acrylonitrile diene [44], polyethylene deoxythiophe-nel, blends of polystyrene sulfonate, polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene oxide [43], poly-pyrrole [61], polypyrrole-polypropylene-montmorillonite composites [62], polydimethyl siloxane-polypyrrole composites [63], polyaniline [46], epoxy resin-polyaniline dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid blends [64], and polyaniline-polyamide 6 composites [49].

Alkali and acid treatments have also been used to modify surface properties of polymers sulfonated polyethylene films treated first with ethylenediamine and then with a terpolymer of vinyhdene chloride, acrylonitrile, and acrylic acid exhibited better clarity and scuff resistance and reduced permeabihty. Permanently amber-colored polyethylene containers suitable for storing light-sensitive compoimds have been produced by treating fluorosulfonated polyethylene with alkali. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) dipped into trichloroacetic/chromic acid mixture has improved adhesion to polyethylene and nylons. Antifogging lenses have been prepared by exposing polystyrene films to sulfonating conditions. Acid and alkali surface treatments have also been used to produce desired properties in polymethylmethacrylates, polyacrylonitrile, styrene-butadiene resins, polyisobutylene, and natural rubber. Surface halogenation of the diene polymers natural rubber and polyisobutylene resulted in increased adhesion to polar surfaces. [Pg.150]
