  • Title: Synthesis of polyaniline nanofibrous networks with the aid of an amphiphilic ionic liquid.
    Author: Miao Z, Wang Y, Liu Z, Huang J, Han B, Sun Z, Du J.
    Journal: J Nanosci Nanotechnol; 2006 Jan; 6(1):227-30. PubMed ID: 16573100.
    Abstract:
    In this work, polyaniline (PANI) nanofibrous networks were prepared using ionic liquid (IL), 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C16MIMCl), as a template through oxidative polymerization of aniline with ammonium persulfate. The resulting PANI was characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis, and FTIR. It was indicated that the as-prepared PANI was in the emeraldine form and its morphology strongly depended on the molar ratio of aniline/C16MIMCI. A possible mechanism for the formation of PANI nanofibrous networks was that the ordered micro-domains of the IL acted as template to direct the growth of the nanostructures.
