Branched conducting PANI-NFs buried in the crystals of camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) have been prepared from m-cresol solution of granular PANI and excessive CSA [40]. After the 

CSA was dissolved through ultrasonication in deionized water, networks of PANI-NFs with spherical nodes, nanoparticles, leaf-vein-shaped nanofibers, etc. were obtained, depending on the strength of the ultrasonic treatment. PANI-CSA nanofibers having diameters 1-2 nm were produced by bath sonication of aqueous dispersions of larger nanofibers (30-50 nm diameter) [41].
