Ld. Arsov et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL AND RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF POLYANILINE - INFLUENCE OF THE POTENTIAL ON THE DEGRADATION OF POLYANILINE, JOURNAL OF SOLID STATE ELECTROCHEMISTRY, 2(5), 1998, pp. 355-361
The polymerization of aniline has been studied employing in-situ elect
rochemical and Raman spectroscopical techniques. Aniline was polymeriz
ed by cyclic voltammetry on a Pt surface in sulfuric acid solutions of
aniline. The Raman bands were assigned for degradation products of th
e overoxidized form of polyaniline. A discussion of the degradation me
chanism is given.
