Abstract

Soluble in organic solvent polyaniline (PANI) was prepared using DBSA as a functional dopant. Miscibility was maximized for PMMA with hydroquinone. Transmission electron micrographs showed lowest level of phase separation. Thermal studies by differential scanning calorimetry show some peak shifts which indicate the miscibility of two polymers. The formations of new bonds are also confirmed by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy. Electroconductivity increased with increase of content of doped PAN1, showing percolation threshold at 3 wt %.
