Synthesis and characterization of fluoro-substituted polyaniline

Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2001 Oct-Dec;96(1-3):155-65. doi: 10.1385/abab:96:1-3:155.

Abstract

Poly(2-fluoroaniline) was prepared by both chemical and electrochemical polymerization in acidic medium. Characterization of poly(2-fluoroaniline) was accomplished experimentally using ultraviolet-visible, Fourier transform infrared, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction techniques, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed globular morphology of chemically synthesized poly(2-fluoroaniline). The cyclic voltammetric studies revealed diffusion-controlled phenomenon in electrochemically synthesized poly(2-fluoroaniline).
