Water-carbon tetrachloride, interface between

The chemical polymerization of aniline at the interface between two immiscible solvents provides an attractive alternative route to PAn s. Such interfacial polymerization was first demonstrated in 1994 by Michaelson and McEvoy,82 who produced a freestanding PAn film at the interface between a solution of aniline/sodium dodecylsulfate in carbon tetrachloride and an aqueous oxidant solution containing ammonium persulfate/HCl. The analogous interfacial polymerization of a range of /V-alkylanilincs and o-alkylanilines using hexane and water phases for chemical oxidation with ammonium persulfate has also been briefly described.83...
