M. Rethi et al., FACILE SYNTHESIS OF PROCESSABLE CONDUCTIVE WATER SOLUBILIZED POLYANILINE, Macromolecular rapid communications, 19(2), 1998, pp. 119-122
Conductive polyaniline, polyemeraldine green, was synthesized in a wat
er soluble form by an in situ method, using surfactants with strong ac
id functionalities as protonating agents. The clear green solution of
conducting polyaniline, polyemeraldine green, can be diluted to any ex
tent and stored. Thin and thick films can be easily processed from thi
s solution by spin coating and solvent casting methods.
