Abstract
The synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) doped with anionic spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (ASPB) (PANI/ASPB nanocomposite) by means of in situ chemical oxidative polymerization were presented. The PANI/ASPB nanocomposite was characterized by Fourier trans-form infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive x-ray detector (EDX), and Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). Results showed that PANI/ASPB nanocomposite was successfully fabricated with regular morphology. Investigation of the electrical conductivity at room temperature showed that the electrical conductivity of PANI/ASPB nanocomposite was 9.03 S/cm, which was higher than that of PANI (2.7 S/cm). The measurement of dispersity demonstrated that PANI/ASPB nanocomposite had enhanced dispersity in water.
