Films of polyaniline (PANI) interpolymer complexes were electrodeposited from aqueous solutions of aniline containing: (1) poly-(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPSA, flexible-backbone), (2) poly-(p,p′-(2,2′-disulfoacid)-diphenylen-tere-phthalamid) (t-PASA, rigid-backbone), (3) mixt...
