A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR CHARACTERIZING THE POROUS STRUCTURE OF MATERIALS - STANDARD POROSIMETRY OF POLYANILINE EMERALDINE SALTS AND BASES

Communication: Standard porosimetry is a new technique for measuring t he pore radius distribution in microporous materials. Comparison of th e porous structure parameters obtained by this technique and by gas ad sorption measurements and SEM, both established methods, on polyanilin e emeraldine salts and bases demonstrates that standard porosimetry ca n be used for the characterization of the porous structure of powders of conductive polymers and that this novel method has several advantag es.
