Abstract
The doping reaction of polyaniline with camphor sulfonic acid (CSAH) in different organic solvents was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The experimental results show that the polaron band of the species was shifted to shorter wavelength when polyaniline was doped with CSAH in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidione (NMP) solvent, while the red shift of polaron band was observed when it was in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). It indicates that the influence of different processing solvents on the doping property of polyaniline is greatly different. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidione is a good solvent for polyaniline, polyaniline chain is unfolded in it. The interaction of NMP with CSAH is so strong that the resulting product is apt to dedoping, while the solubility of polyaniline in DMF is relatively low and polyaniline chain is in partly folded state. Thus the doping reaction is kinetically disadvantageous but thermodynamically advantageous.
