Chemical and electrochemical polymerization of aniline using tartaric acid

摘要: Abstract Polyaniline–tartaric acid (PANI–TA) salts were prepared by chemical polymerization of aniline using four different concentrations tartaric (TA). The polymer characterized infrared, electronic absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance spectral and conductivity measurements. Both the yield PANI–TA found to be dependent on concentration TA employed. salt 0.2 S cm−1 47% respectively. values density (1.20 g cm−3) water absorption (15–16%) independent used. Further, cyclic voltammetry was applied electro polymerize in aqueous solution platinum as working electrode. results compared with those polyaniline-p-toluenesulfonic (PANI–TSA) salt. is slightly more soluble than PANI–TSA emeraldine may contain major amount little base leucoemeraldine along base.
