Vf. Ivanov et al., FILAMENT-LIKE STRUCTURE FORMATION IN VACUUM THERMALLY EVAPORATED THIN-FILMS OF POLYANILINE DURING OXIDATION IN NITRIC-ACID, Mendeleev communications, (1), 1998, pp. 4-5
Oxidation of vacuum thermally evaporated thin films of polyaniline by
aqueous nitric acid results in autocatalytic formation of filament-lik
e heterogeneous dissipative structures in the oxidized areas due to no
n-equlibrium reactions between the reduced form of polyaniline and the
oxidant.
