Abstract

Polyaniline doped with poly(alkylene phosphates) has been studied by Fourier transform infra-red, X-ray photoelectron and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopies. The protonation of the polymer was indicated by the appearance of infra-red modes characteristic of polyaniline salts and by the bands typical of polyphosphates at ca. 1000 cm −1. X-ray photoelectron spectra showed a decrease in the concentration of imine groups as well as the co-existence of ionized and unionized phosphates independent of the doping level. The influence of the protonation method on the obtained product was observed.
