Abstract
A novel dissolution method that allows for the total solvation of high-concentration, high-molecular-weight polyaniline (PANi) doped with (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (CSA) is reported. Preparation of 12-16 wt % 65,000 Da PANi solutions in N,N-dimethylformamide is achievable using a simple one-pot method. Doped polyaniline solutions in common organic solvents were processed into nanofibers using a convenient single-nozzle electrospinning technique. The electrospinning of PANi-CSA into nanofibrous membranes generated substrates that were subsequently employed in colorimetric gas sensing. These substrates demonstrated linearity of response upon exposure to 50-5500 ppm ammonia at ambient (50 ± 10% RH) and high (80% RH) humidity.
