Extract

In acidic medium, polyaniline has positive charges on its molecular backbone. These charges come from either protonation at the nitrogen atom sites or polarons in its β-electronic system [1]. Although polyaniline, due to its positive charges, is a polycation, yet its physical properties are quite different from the classical polyelectrolytes. For example, the polycation vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride is soluble in water but polyaniline molecules (and other conducting polymers too) tends to aggregate into intractable solid. Conducting polymers aggregate into intractable solid because of their stiff molecular backbone and the strong short range attractive forces between βclouds of adjacent polyaniline chains. The insolubility of polyaniline poses problem for solution processing of polymers. There have been a heavy effort towards the resolution of this problem [2].
