Photopolymerized conducting polyaniline micropattern and its application

Photopolymerization of aniline derivatives was revealed to be induced by ph otoinduced electron transfer (PIET) between tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium c omplex (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) and electroactive molecule. Characterization of the polyaniline prepared should be necessary to compare its potential with che mically or electrochemically polymerized polyaniline. From the results of c yclic voltammetry (CV), IR and H-1-NMR analysis, the polymer was identified as polyaniline. GPC analysis of photopolymerized polyaniline indicated tha t the polyaniline has molar mass of about several thousands. photopolymeriz ed polyaniline system was also proposed.
