Abstract
Polyaniline (PAn) has been known as a promising conducting polymer for technological applications. In research work elecrochemically synthesized PAn has been frequently used since electropolymerization is convenient to prepare the polymer film with controllable thickness or dopingon electrodes. However , the processibility of elecrosynthesized PAn is too poor to produce largearea devices because of its insolubility and infusibility. Recently, therefore, chemical polymerization has attracted a considerable attentionfl-3], especially suitably derivatized ring substituted (e.g. alkyl or alkoxy) polyanilines have been synthesized, and their appreciable solubility in commonorganic solvents enable the preparation of film on industrial scale by casting. Moreover, emulsionpolymerization reduces the amount of water in Pan, being useful for nonaqueeous battery system.Although the physical and mechanistic properties of chemically prepared PAn,such as tensileproperties, viscoelasticity and electrical conductivity, have been investigated, there are few studies on their electrochemical properties. In this paper,the electrochemical behavior of three chemically synthesed ring substituted polyanilines, polyotoluidine (POT), poly2,5-dimethoxyaniline (PDM An),and polymchloroaniline (PClAn) are compared, and the effects of substutients arediscussed.
