Vd. Pokhodenko et al., Heteropolyacid/m-cresol system as a primary/secondary dopant combination for polyaniline, SYNTH METAL, 113(1-2), 2000, pp. 199-201
The method for the preparation of soluble polyaniline PAn doped with hetero
polyacid (HPA), using 12-phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) as an example, was prop
osed. It is established that new spectral and electrophysical properties of
the PAn PMA are the consequence of secondary doping of PAn with m-cresol.
The solubility of the PAn PMA enables the preparation of conducting composi
te films with dielectric polymers that allows the variation in conductivity
value and the improvement of the mechanical properties of the conducting m
aterial. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
