Study of Thermal Stability of some Polyaniline–DVB Gels

In contrast with other conductive polymers with metallic behavior, polyaniline(Pani)is readily prepared in aqueous acid solution, and stable in air and water. The study of thermal stability of Pani is very important for film preparation and processability. The effect of Styrene-2%Divinylbenzene gels(DVB)and synthesis conditions on the conductivity and thermal stability of the PAni-DVB have been investigated. It was established a correlations between synthesis conditions and thermal stability of PANI-DVB gels.
