Abstract

Conducting polymers are difficult to process, since unlike conventional polymers, they generally do not dissolve in common solvents or melt. By synthesizing nanostructured forms of the conjugated polymer polyaniline, simple methods for making conducting polymer inks become possible. By using either interfacial polymerization or a rapid-mixing technique, nanostructured polyaniline has been synthesized in a readily scalable process. Polyaniline nanofibers make excellent sensors for acids and bases. When decorated with metal nanoparticles, they can be used for molecular memory devices and catalysis. Using a flash from a camera, polyaniline nanofibers can be melted and patterned to make sensors, actuators, and asymmetric membranes. Single crystals of tetraaniline can be grown that exhibit conductivities approaching that of the bulk polymer.
