Abstract

The water-soluble self-acid-doped conducting polyanilines, poly(aniline-co-Npropanesulfonic acid aniline) (PAPSAH) and sulfonic acid ring substituted polyaniline (SPAN), in aqueous solutions at full concentration range are characterized. The PAPSAH and SPAN can be cast into free standing films from their aqueous solutions and have the doping level, about 0.3. Their conductivities at room temperature are about the same (10−2 S/cm). As temperature increases, conductivities of PAPSAH and SPAN increase to the maxima about 10−1 S/cm at 110°C and 190°C respectively. Above these temperatures, their conductivities drop resulting from thermal undoping accompanying with a loss of some polarons. The incorporation of PVA into PAPSAH and SPAN provides excellent flexibility and only slightly decreased conductivity (10−3 S/cm at equal weight %). Applications of these two polymers and their blends in electron beam lithography and light emitting diode are studied.
