Pyridinium chlorochromate oxidation route to polyaniline

In this work, for the first time, pyridinium chlorochromate is used as an oxidizing agent inorder to oxidize aniline to polyaniline salts via an aqueous polymerization pathway in the presence of protic acids such as sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric and phosphoric acid. The polymer samples were characterized by infrared, electronic absorption spectral, elemental analysis, conductivity, density and water absorption measurements. The results of the polyaniline salts prepared by pyridinium chlorochromate as an oxidizing agent were compared with that of the polyaniline salt prepared by ammonium persulfate. Generally, aniline is oxidized using ammonium persulfate as an oxidizing agent, which is unstable. In this work, pyridinium chlorochromate is used to oxidize aniline to polyaniline salt and the polymerization reaction could be completed in 30 min. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Benzoyl peroxide oxidation route to polyaniline salts—Part I

Aniline was oxidized to polyaniline salt using benzoyl peroxide as an oxidizing agent in the presence of acids such as sulfuric, nitric, or hydrochloric acid by aqueous polymerization pathway. Polyaniline salts, their corresponding bases and redoped polyaniline salts were characterized by infrared, electronic absorption, x‐ray diffraction spectral techniques, elemental analysis and conductivity measurement. The result of this study indicates that both acid and surfactant group are present in the polyaniline salt as dopants. Polyaniline salts with reasonable yield (around 80%) and conductivity (0.04 S/cm) were prepared. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

氧化剂对聚苯胺性质的影响

当过硫酸铵与苯胺的摩尔量之比为1∶1至2∶1时,化学合成的聚苯胺具有高的产率,电导率也较高,过多的过硫酸铵存在,使聚苯胺的电导率明显下降,这是由于它氧化了不同的中间体使产物不同,及聚苯胺被进一步氧化而造成的。各种强的氧化剂虽能提高电化学合成的聚苯胺的电极电位,但都使它的电导率和电化学活性显著降低,这仅是由于聚苯胺的进一步氧化所引起的。为了保持聚苯胺高的电化学活性,应避免它与强氧化剂共存。     

Preparation of polyaniline‐sulfate salt ­by emulsion and aqueous ­polymerization pathway without using ­protonic acid

Aniline was polymerized directly into polyaniline‐sulfate salt without using protonic acid in this work. Polyaniline‐sulfate salt was prepared by emulsion and aqueous polymerization pathways. The dopant i.e. sulfate ion in polyaniline‐sulfate salt was generated from ammonium persulfate which was used for oxidizing aniline. Ammonium persulfate acts both as oxidizing agent as well as protonating agent in the polymerization process of aniline to polyaniline salt. The efficiency of oxidizing and protonating power of ammonium persulfate is increased by the use of surfactant. The activity of ammonium persulfate is further increased by the use of sulfuric acid as protonic acid. It may be necessary to consider the effect of sulfate ion which is generated during the oxidation process of aniline in the chemical polymerization of aniline to polyaniline salt by ammonium persulfate either aqueous or emulsion polymerization pathway in the presence of protonic acid/functionalized protonic acid.

Summary: We report a new method for the preparation of polyaniline nanoballs by using HAuCl₄ as an oxidizing agent. During the reaction, aniline is oxidized and forms polyaniline whilst the hydrogen tetrachloroaurate is reduced and forms gold nanoparticles. These gold nanoparticles are found to decorate the nanoballs.

Cerium dioxide/polyaniline core-shell nanocomposites

The preparation of CeO2/polyaniline (CeO2/PANI) core-shell nanocomposites via chemical oxidation of aniline using CeO2 as an oxidant is reported. TEM, TGA, FT-IR, XPS, and conductivity measurement are used to characterize the resulting composites. TEM measurements reveal that the shape of PANI/CeO2 nanocomposites is different from CeO2 nanoparticles and fibular PANI oxidized with soluble oxidant. Electron diffraction (ED) patterns of CeO2/PANI nanocomposites reveal single crystal of CeO2. FT-IR spectra confirmed the formation of PANI; the amount of PANI in the nanocomposites is estimated by TGA results. The conductivities increase with the increasing ratio of PANI/CeO2. XPS results reveal that in the nanocomposites Ce4+ of CeO2 is reduced to Ce3+. In addition, the degree of protonation of polyaniline obtained from N 1s XPS results in cerium dioxide/polyaniline composites is about 48.52%.     

聚苯胺嵌入氧化石墨复合物的合成及表征

电聚合苯胺过程的在线紫外-可见光谱

用在线紫外-可见光谱电化学的方法对0.5mol/L硫酸水溶液中苯胺在ITO导电玻璃电极上的电化学聚的过程进行了研究.结果表明在循环伏安条件下苯胺发生了电聚合,聚合速率与苯胺浓度成正关系;而且在线紫外-可见电化学光谱表明,在0.01mol/L苯胺溶液的电聚合过程的诱导期较长.恒电位条件下的在线紫外-可见电化学光谱显示苯胺浓度为0.05mol/L,电位为0.8V时,在ITO电极上苯胺低聚合物中间体可能产生于聚苯胺形成之前;而0.01mol/L苯胺在0.8V电位下不发生聚合,但在线紫外-可见光谱又显示此时在电极上可能存在小的苯胺低聚物的中间体;在线紫外-可见光谱表明这种中间体是可能产生并存在电极表面上的.     

Emulsion Polymerization Pathway for Preparation of Polyaniline‐Sulfate Salt,using Non Ionic Surfactant

In this work, aniline was polymerized directly to the polyaniline‐sulfate salt without using a protonic acid. The polyaniline‐sulfate salt was prepared by emulsion polymerization, using a non ionic surfactant such as poly(ethylene glycol)–block poly(propylene glycol)‐block poly(ethylene glycol). In the aniline oxidation process, to give the polyaniline salt by ammonium persulfate, the sulfate ion is generated from ammonium persulfate and doped on to the polyaniline. Ammonium persulfate acts both as an oxidizing agent, as well as the protonating agent in the aniline polymerization process, to give the polyaniline salt. This result indicates that the effect of sulfate ion, generated by ammonium persulfate during oxidation of aniline to the polyaniline salt, may be taken into consideration in the polymerization process of aniline.     

Enhancement of polyaniline’s electrical conductivity by coagulation polymerization

An effective and simple method was developed to prepare highly conductive polyaniline by coagulation polymerization. Depending on the coagulation reaction between aniline salts and lauryl sulfonate (SDS), not only was the polymerization rate of aniline monomers greatly decreased but also the doping efficiency of hydrochloric acid was effectively increased. Low polymerization rate provided enough time for the conformation adjustment of polyaniline chains and the diffusion of doping agent. Meanwhile, the doping efficiency of hydrochloric acid on polyaniline chains was effectively increased due to its easy diffusion among many vacancies, which were generated when SDS separated in the process of polymerization. Therefore, the electrical conductivity of polyaniline prepared by coagulation polymerization was increased more than ten times than that of polyaniline, which was prepared by conventional methods. In addition, the important factors to influence the preparation, such as SDS concentration, hydrochloride acid (HCl) concentration, content of ammonium persulfate (APS), and polymerization time were also investigated. When the molar ratio (aniline:SDS:HCl :APS) was set to 1.69:0.46:15.38:1, the conductivity of polyaniline reached 24.39 S/cm.     

Precipitation polymerization of aniline in the presence of water‐soluble organic acids

The precipitation polymerization of aniline in the presence of organic acids, including toluene‐4‐sulfonic acid, phenylphosphonic acid, 4‐aminophenylphosphonic acid, and acetophosphonic acid, led in one step to conductive polyaniline. The polyaniline showed very good affinity for water and was easily modified to be water‐soluble. In comparison with the widely studied postpolymerization of doped polyaniline, this reaction allowed reasonably good conductivity to be achieved at a lower acid/polyaniline ratio. Moreover, the easy in situ incorporation of the dopant into the polymer structure caused high stability of the created salt; that is, no dedoping was observed after it was washed with water, methanol, or other solvents. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A study on the synthesis,characterization and properties of polyaniline using acrylic acid as a primary dopant. I: polymerization and polymer

In the presence of acrylic acid (AA) as a primary dopant, polyaniline (PANI) doped with poly(acrylic acid) was successfully synthesized by using ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator and oxidizing agent. The effect of experimental conditions on the polymer yields was systematically studied. It was found that the polymer yield can be as high as 65%, and this value strongly depends on synthesis conditions, such as the reaction time, the molar ratio of oxidizing agent to aniline monomer, the concentration of reactants and reaction temperature. The molecular weight ( ) of main chains of the de‐doped PANI is estimated to be 32,000–53,000. Based on the data of FT‐IR, UV‐vis, ¹³C‐nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), elemental analysis and electrical conductivity measurement, the emeraldine salt form of PANI was confirmed and the molecular structure of the resulting PANI‐AA was proposed. Accordingly the reaction mechanism was discussed and it was convinced that the polymerization reaction of AA is initiated by APS. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of nanostructured polyaniline via chemical oxidative polymerization: Investigation of morphology and conductivity of the prepared polymers

In this study, nanostructure polyaniline was prepared from aniline monomer via chemical oxidative polymerization in the presence of ammonium persulfate as an oxidizing agent. Interfacial, emulsion, rapid mixing and ultrasonic techniques are used for polymer synthesis. In the interfacial method, chloroform, n-hexane, hexanole and toluene were used as organic solvents and sulfuric acid, methane sulfonic acid and acetic acid were employed as electrolyte solutions. In the emulsion polymerization, dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid and aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid were used as emulsion agent and electrolyte solution respectively. In rapid mixing reaction and ultrasonic method, hydrochloric acid and salicylic acid were used as dopants. The structure, conductivity, morphology and particle size distribution of prepared polymers were investigated after purification and drying by FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electrical conductivity measurements.

Self-supported bacterial cellulose polyaniline conducting membrane as electromagnetic interference shielding material: effect of the oxidizing agent

Conducting bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes coated with a high proportion of polyaniline (PAni) were prepared through in situ oxidative polymerization of aniline on the surface of the BC in the presence of acetic acid as the protonating agent. The effect of two different oxidizing agents, ammonium persulfate (APS) or iron(III) chloride (FeCl₃), on the mechanical performance, electrical conductivity, crystallinity, morphology and ability to absorb the electromagnetic radiation was investigated. BC/PAni membranes prepared with FeCl₃ displayed higher conductivity and better mechanical performance than those observed for pure BC or the BC/PAni membranes prepared with APS. Experiments related to the electromagnetic absorbing properties revealed that BC/PAni membranes prepared with FeCl₃ also present improved absorbing properties in the frequency range of 8–12 GHz. The morphology of the membranes, observed by field emission gun-scanning electron microscopy, is strongly affected by the oxidizing agent. Whereas the BC/PAni membranes prepared with APS present PAni nanoparticles attached on the fiber surface as agglomerates in the form of flakes, those prepared with FeCl₃ display a uniform and smooth coating of PAni on the BC fibers as hierarchical mode.     

Polyaniline film formation in hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide admicelles on hydrous zirconia surface

Formation of a thin polyaniline film on hydrous zirconia (ZrO2) surface was carried out using adsorbed surfactant bilayers on ZrO2 as reaction sites. Aniline was adsolubilized in hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTAB) admicelles formed on the surface of ZrO2 by adsorption. Subsequent polymerization of the adsolubilized aniline monomer showed effective conversion of aniline to polyaniline. The formation of the polyaniline coated ZrO2 has been confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and conductivity measurements. Various parameters involved during the adsorption process were studied. Selection of pH 9.0 as the pH of all experimental feed solutions was governed by the knowledge of point of zero charge (PZC) of ZrO2. Effect of aniline concentration on HDTAB adsorption was studied and it was observed that increase in aniline concentration decreased the amount of HDTAB adsorbed on ZrO2. Addition of salt (0.05 M NaCl) in the feed solution increased HDTAB adsorption and drastically reduced the effect of aniline concentration on HDTAB adsorption.
