Yd. Zheng et al., THE FORMATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF LYO TROPIC LIQUID-CRYSTAL PHASEOF POLYANILINE DOPED WITH DODECYLBENZENE SULFONIC-ACID, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 18(5), 1997, pp. 823-825
Polyaniline thermal doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid was found
to form a liquid-crystalline solution in m-cresol, A polarizing optica
l microscope and X-ray diffraction measurement were used to study the
texture of liquid-crystalline phase, The doped methods had a great eff
ect on the solubility of PAN-DBSA in organic solvents and the appearan
ce of lyotropic liquid crystal of PAN-DBSA solution, An ordered smecti
c structure with a layer spacing of d=3.309 nm can be observed for the
thermal doped PAN-DBSA in m-cresol.
