Abstract
Solution properties of polyaniline (PAn) doped by camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) were examined. PAn-CSA behaves like a polyelectrolyte to differ ent extents depending on the solvent used. In an m-cresol/chloroform s olution, PAn-CSA exhibits an expanded chain conformation because of it s polyelectrolytic properties. Dilute and concentrated solution proper ties of PAn-CSA indicate that PAn-CSA is a semirigid polymer which has strong interchain interactions.
