Aniline was oxidized with ammonium peroxydisulfate in aqueous medium compri
sing polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) micelles. The colloidal polyani
line particles were characterized by dynamic light scattering and by optica
l spectra. The effect of monomer/micelle concentration ratio, acidity of th
e medium and reaction temperature on the colloidal stability of polymerizat
ion products were investigated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r
