Abstract
The potentiometric study of polyaniline (PANI) film synthesized with dopants viz. polyvinyl sulfonic acid (PVS),p-toluene sulfonic acid (p TS), dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBS) and composite-dopants viz. PVS-p TS and PVS-DBS, has been carried out. The synthesized PANI films were characterized by electrochemical technique, UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and conductivity measurement. It was found that the PANI doped with PVS gives good electrochemical properties, conductivity as well as surface morphology as compared to p TS and DBS, whereas in composite dopants the PANI doped with PVS-pTS gives good polymer matrix as compared to PVS-DBS.
