Abstract:
In the present study some results related to various properties polyaniline salt synthesized via inverse emulsion polymerization pathway [1] has been discussed. The synthesized PANI salt was found to be completely soluble in tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), chloroform and in a mixture of toluene and 2-propanol. The synthesized polymer salt was also further characterized with cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze the thermal properties of synthesized polymer. The extent of doping of the PANI salt was determined from UV-vis spectra and TGA analysis. The activation energy for the degradation of the polymer was calculated with the help of TGA.
