Spherical Polyelectrolyte Brushes as Templates for Stable Dispersions of Polyaniline Based Conducting Particles

We prepare stable conducting core‐shell particles using spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB) as microreactor‐templates. The polymerization of aniline is guided within the SPB shell so that no bulk polymerization proceeds up to 20% polyaniline (PANi) content in the resulting composite. The dispers...

Summary:We prepare stable conducting core‐shell particles using spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPB) as microreactor‐templates. The polymerization of aniline is guided within the SPB shell so that no bulk polymerization proceeds up to 20% polyaniline (PANi) content in the resulting composite. The dispersions are electrostatically stabilized in a wide range of the ionic strength. The conductivity of the composite material reaches 0.1 S/cm which is comparable with the conductivity of bulk PANI obtained under comparable conditions.
