Abstract

Polyaniline(PAn) doped with multiple sulfonic acid system of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid(DBSA) and sulfosalicylic acid(SSA) was synthesized by emulsion polymerization using ammonium persulfate(APS) as an oxidizing agent in the presence and the absence of a constant magnetic field(MF)of 0.8 T. The structure and properties of the PAn were characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD), thermogravimetric apparatus(TGA), FT-IR spectroscope(FT-IR) and four probe digital multimeter. The results indicate that, when the molar ratio of DBSA to SSA is 1/3, that of dopant to An is 3/2, that of APS to An is 4/5 in the synthesizing media, and the doping time is 3 h, the conductivity of the PAn synthesized in the presence of the MF of 0.8 T reaches 5.88 S/cm, which is higher than that of the PAn synthesized in the absence of the MF. The thermal stability, the crystallinity and the doping degree of the PAn synthesized in the presence of the MF are also improved. MF not only enhances the conductivity, but also reduces the doping time, the dosage of the dopant and the oxidizing agent when the conductivity reaches the maximum.
