Abstract
A method is described for obtaining a composite of polyaniline and carbon b lack by cycling the potential of a Pt electrode in a solution containing an iline and carbon black suspension. The solution may also contain sodium dod ecyl sulphate (SDS) as additive. It is shown that the rate of polymerizatio n is enhanced by the presence of both carbon black and SDS by a factor of 5 . The composite was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy and capacity measurements.
