Abstract

Polyaniline (PANI) is generally prepared in a water medium. However, a new method for the synthesis of PANI in an organic solvent was developed in this study. PANI was successfully synthesized in an organic cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) matrix using ammonium peroxodisulfate and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) as two initiators to progress the polymerization. Polymerization in the CLC matrix resulted to PANI with an ordered structure due to secondary doping in the monomer propagation process.
