Polyaniline Nanostructures Doped with Fluorescent TPA-BTD-BN
In this paper, a novel fluorescent material with high conductivity as 0.45 S·cm-1 and strong fluorescence has been successfully synthesized basing on polyaniline (PANI) nanostructures doped with a new prepared fluorescein TPABTDBN. The PANI nanostructures were prepared via a simplified template-free method (STFM) with FeCl3 as oxidant and dopant. The resulting sample was characterized by SEM, IR and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of synthesized composite improves with the increasing content of TPABTDBN. The electrical properties of pressed composite pellets were measured from room temperature about 291K down to 132K, the conductance follow the exponential temperature dependence of three-dimensional variable-range hopping (VRH) model.
