Abstract
Graft copolymerization of polyaniline (PANI) onto nylon 66 fiber was carrie d out in two different media, hydrochloric acid and p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA), using peroxodisulfate (PDS) as an initiator. Percentage grafting, percentage efficiency, and rate of grafting were determined. The grafting o f PANI onto nylon 66 was confirmed through FTIR spectroscopy, cyclic voltam metry (CV), weight-loss study, and conductivity measurement. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
