Currently, the polymers industry has gained increasing importance due to the versatility of its properties. In this work were synthesized copolymers of styrene with vinyl acetate at different concentrations through a process polymerization of suspension, which are the starting points for obtaining of composites with polyaniline synthesized PANI chemical oxidative polymerization process, used for doping HCl at a concentration of 1.5 M and ammonium persulfate 0.5 M in a mass radio of 1:1. The conductivity was evaluated by means of cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy, in order to determine the effect of the concentration of the polar monomer in the composite founded that increase concentration of polar comonomer the conductivity also too.

AbstractThe oxidative polymerization of aniline was monitored by means of open-circuit potential (OCP) measurements of Pt electrodes immersed in an aqueous acidic medium containing different aniline:oxidizer (ammonium persulfate) molar ratios. Thin polyaniline (PANI) films were formed on the Pt electrode surfaces during the OCP measurements, and they were studied by SEM and cyclic voltammetry in a monomer-free solution at different reaction times. A precipitate also obtained during the polymerization process was analyzed by UV-VIS spectroscopy in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. It is observed that aniline or short oligomeric species are necessary to initiate the growth of a PANI film, which takes place at the first few minutes of the reaction.

Abstract In the present work, we have developed a polymer based gas sensor. The polymer nanocomposites are synthesized by the chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline with ammonium persulfate and sulfuric acid. The fabricated sensor is able to achieve a sensing response of 4.56% for PANI/MMT-rGO at 2 ppm of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) gas. The sensitivity of the sensors PANI/MMT and PANI/MMT-rGO are 0.89 ppm-1 and 1.12 ppm-1 respectively. The increase in the sensitivity of the sensor may be due to an increase in the surface area provided by MMT and rGO which provided more binding sites for the HCN gas. The sensing response of the sensor increases as the concentration of the gas exposed increases but saturates after 10 ppm. The sensor recovers automatically. The sensor is stable and can work for 8 months.

Abstract This study aims to explain the effect of variations in nitrogen and carbon composition of catalysts on electrochemical properties and physical characterization. The usage of non-precious metals supported by nitrogen-carbon is one alternative to reduce the amount of platinum as the innovation of energy materials. Iron is a transition metal that can increase catalytic activity with the addition of a nitrogen source. The polymerization process was carried out by chemical oxidative polymerization for 24 hours in an ice bath using aniline as N source. Optimization of nitrogen coating on the carbon surface is carried out by mixing carbon during polymerization. The mixing of iron precursor and N/C powder was carried out in an ultrasonic bath and continued with pyrolysis at a temperature of 700°C. Regarding Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) test, the Fe-N/C = 2/1 catalyst has the largest area and the highest current density. The presence of Fe2O3 is needed to improve the electrochemical properties compared to Fe3C compounds. The composition analysis showed that the Fe-N/C = 2/1 catalyst had the highest Fe content after pyrolysis. In addition, the Fe-N/C = 2/1 catalyst also had the highest nitrogen content which can form a nitrogen functional group from the pyrolysis process.

New functional homopolymeric, semiconducting materials soluble in polar solvents, were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of 4-amino-3-hydroxynaphthalene-1- sulfonic acid (AHNSA) and its salts, using ammonium peroxydisulfate as an oxidant, in water at room temperature. Polymerization products obtained from AHNSA, AHNSA hydrochloride, AHNSA mono-sodium salt and AHNSA di-sodium salt were characterized by elemental analysis, gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and conductivity measurements. Polymers of AHNSA salts have increased weight-average molecular weights and polydispersity index values, compared to AHNSA polymer. Molecular weights approach a maximum value of ~25200 for polymers of AHNSA salts. Elemental analysis data of polymeric samples show a decrease of the S/C ratio for all polymeric materials in comparison with the monomer, indicating considerable elimination of sulfonic acid group from the macromolecular structure during the polymerization process. New substitution patterns shown by IR spectroscopic analysis combined with MNDO-PM3 semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculations revealed N─C coupling reactions as dominant, where C belongs to unsubstituted AHNSA ring. Coupling mode N─C1 is also important. Naphthoquinonoid and benzenoid structures were observed by IR spectroscopy. Influence of pH on the AHNSA oxidative chemical polymerization mechanism was examined.

An inexpensive electroactive polymer polytriphenylamine (PTPAn) was synthesized through chemical oxidative polymerization of TPA. The composite separator was simply prepared by impregnating a commercial PP separator with PTPAn polymer solution. PTPAn was observed on the surface of the composite separator and formed a uniform coating. In cyclic voltammetry test, PTPAn polymer exhibited a pair of well-defined redox peaks between 3.0 and 4.5 V, which could be regarded as a reversible electrochemical p-doping and dedoping process. When incorporated in a blocking cell, the composite separator was able to hold a constant potential for current densities up to 5 mA/cm2 to protect the cell from overcharging.

Polyaniline/tungsten carbide (PANI/WC) composite was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline using ammonium persulfate as the oxidant and thermal treated in air at 150°C, 250°C, 350°C and 450°C to 2 hours. The changes of structure, crystalline and conductivity were investigated by Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR), Fourier Transformed Raman (FT-Raman), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and four-probe technique. The results showed that PANI/WC composite showed much-improved thermal stability compared to pure PANI. But the conductivity of PANI/WC is reduced to some extent (1.73 S/cm, the conductivity is reduced by about 82%) after thermal treated at 250°C, and dropped by 6 orders of magnitude (3.25×10-6S/cm) at 350°C. This may be explained by that only a fraction of dopant losses during thermal treatment at 250°C, but after thermal treatment at 350°C, along with cross-linking, chain scission and oxygen, resulting in destruction of crystal structure, decrease of the emeraldine sequence.
