Jl. Camalet et al., ANILINE ELECTROPOLYMERIZATION IN NEUTRAL MEDIA - APPLICATION TO POLYANILINE DEPOSITION ON MILD-STEEL, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 95(6), 1998, pp. 1494-1497
The use of perchlorate ions allowed to carry out the aniline electropo
lymerization on Pt and mild steel in neutral aqueous medium and yield
conducting, homogenoeus and adhering polyaniline films. Their structur
e, studied by IR, SEC and MS-MALDI, was characterized by a low degree
of polymerization (DP approximate to 9) and a linear structure with ch
ain coupling in 1,4 position of aniline rings.
