Abstract
Polyaniline nanoparticle (nPANI) was successfully synthesized through ultrasonic-assisted reverse microemulsion polymerization method. The effect of four parameters including concentration of aniline (ANI) as monomer, molar ratio of dodecybenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) as surfactant to ANI, molar ratio of ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) as oxidant to ANI and polymerization temperaturewere systematically studied in terms of the structural characterizations of nPANI by applying the Taguchi method of experimental design. Data analysis indicated that there is a dependency between conductivity and particle size in the nanoscale; the maximum conductivity of nPANI was obtained when the diameter of the particles was 30 nm.
