Abstract
The electrochemical growth of thick (similar to 2 mm) emeraldine, polyanili ne (PANI(E)) films from solutions containing 2 M HBF4 and 0.25 M aniline is demonstrated. Electrochemically and chemically prepared PANI(E) films, cas t from formic acid solutions, are compared. The combination of electrochemi cal results with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic data indicates th at pure and homogeneous standard material can be reproducibly prepared elec trochemically.
