Polyaniline nanostructures and the role of aniline oligomers in their formation

TL;DR: A review of PANI nanostructures can be found in this paper, where a model of a flowing template combined with a helical nanotubular growth is proposed to account for the formation of nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of the oxidative polymerization of aniline and the formation of supramolecular polyaniline structures

TL;DR: A molecular mechanism for the oxidation of aniline is proposed in this paper, which explains the specific features of polyaniline oligomerization and polymerization in various acidity ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of polyaniline nanotubes: The oxidation of aniline in water

TL;DR: Gel-permeation chromatography indicates that aniline oligomers are produced at first at high pH, while polyaniline follows after the pH becomes sufficiently low, which indicates that the kinetic course of polymerization is controlled by the acidity level.

Electrochemistry of Conductive Polymers II . Electrochemical Studies on Growth Properties of Polyaniline

TL;DR: In this article, the growth rate of polyaniline (PA) is characterized as autocatalytic and the electrochemical growth may be characterized as first order in aniline concentration, depending on the amount of PA film on the electrode and the number of potential cycles.
