The Influence of Organic Solvents on the Polymerization of Polyaniline

Omar Melad, Hussein Alhendawi, and Mohammed Fayyad

During the polymerization of aniline in aqueous solution, different organic solvents such as DMF, DMSO and THF were added. The influenceof organic solvents on the polymerization of polyaniline on the conductivity and elemental analysis were studied. These study had been investigated using FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, which attest that the usage of organic solvents is helpful for the increase of the doping level of the resulting PANI. The rate of polymerization increased when THF was used as a solvent for polyaniline
