SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYANILINE AND ITS COPOLYMER FOR ANTISTATIC APPLICATION

Abstract

In recent years much attention has been paid to the organic polymer having extended π- conjugated system due to their wide application in electronic devices ,Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs),Solar cell, super capacitors ,corrosion inhibitors and antistatic coatings, Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Among the conducting polymer polyaniline possesses the unique, chemical and electric properties but it is not possible. The present research work deals with synthesis of copolymer Poly(aniline-co-2-sec.butylaniline) of Aniline and 2-secbutylaniline doped with dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization .Different formulation were considered by taking different molar ratio of monomers to see the effect of concentration on the intrinsic properties of the copolymer. Beside chemical polymerization electrochemical polymerization were also carried to study the electrochemical properties. The resulting copolymer possesses moderate conduc...
