Topic: Polyaniline is a Conducting Polymer: Sythesis, Characterization and Applications

Abstract: The conducting polymer such as polypyrrole and polyaniline(PANI) is a field of increasing scientific and technological intrest, offering the oppprtunity to synthesize a broad vareity of new materials that have a wide range of applications.PANI is one of the most intensively investigated conducting polymers. This is due to its enviromental stability, high degree of processability and interesting redox properties associated with its chain. However, a great deal of attention was paid to the nanostructures produced by PANI because of the unique properties: large surface area, short path lengths for the transport of ions, and high electrochemical activity. This talk reviews properties of the ultrathin film of PANI: synthesis, characterization and kinetics of formation. The different nanostructrured forms of PANI and their nanocomposites with inorganic materials will be mentioned. The application of these materials in sensors,drug carrier, and as an adsorbent are also discussed.
