Polyaniline was chemically synthesized at three different temperatures of 25, 0, and -25oC, by oxidative polymerization with ammonium peroxidisulfate at equimolar of aniline to oxidant ratio and 1M HCl. The resulted polyaniline was in a powder form which was characterized by several techniques such as: electrical conductivity, elemental analysis, thermal analysis, wide-angle X-Ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope. The solution properties of the reduced polymer were studied by viscometry, static and dynamic light scattering. It was found that as the polymerization temperature decreased, the molecular weight, crystallinity, and thermal stability of polyaniline increased, while the electrical conductivity was independent of the polymerization temperature. Moreover, the morphology of the polymer was changed from granular to tubular with reducing polymerization temperature. Viscometry and static light scattering showed that polyaniline has a flexible random coil conformation when dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone which proved to be a good solvent for this polymer. Dynamic light scattering indicated that the polymer solution is a polyelectrolyte with high hydrodynamic radius at low polymer concentrations. All mechanical features except Young's modulus of polyaniline-filled low density polyethylene composites became poorer as polyaniline content increased. Moreover, a sudden increase in the electrical conductivity with increasing polyaniline contents was also observed. The conductivity of the tubular composites of multi wall nanotubes (MWNTs)-filled polyaniline increased with increasing MWNTs loading, and became weakly temperature dependent. The morphological analysis indicated that the MWNTs were well dispersed and isolated, and the tubes became crowded proportionally to MWNTs weight percent used in the composites.

Microwave-assisted simultaneous novel synthesis of poly(dibromophenylene oxide)s, poly(diiodophenylene oxide)s (p), conducting(cp) and/or crosslinked (clp) and/or radical ion polymers (rip)
Çelik, Güler Bayraklı; Kısakürek, Duygu; Department of Chemistry (2007)
Microwave-assisted novel synthesis of poly(dibromophenylene oxide) or poly(diiodophenylene oxide) (P), conducting polymer (CP) and/or crosslinked polymer (CLP) and/or radical ion polymer (RIP) were achieved simultaneously from lithium, sodium or potassium 2,4,6-bromophenolate or sodium 2,4,6-iodophenolate in a very short time interval. Polymerizations were carried out by constant microwave energy with different time intervals varying from 1 to 20 min; or at constant time intervals with variation of microwav...
Polymerization and polymer characterization of acetylenedicarboxylic acid monopotassium salt
Anaçoğlu, Elif; Usanmaz, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2005)
Acetylenedicarboxylic acid monopotassium salt, ADCA-K, was polymerized by radiation induced solid-state and chemical initiator induced solution polymerization methods. Radiation induced solid-state polymerization was carried out by Co-60 g-radiation at room temperature. The powder polymer obtained was soluble in water but insoluble in common organic solvents. The solution polymerization initiated by benzoylperoxide was carried out in an oil bath at 90°C. The polymer obtained was soluble in water but insolub...

Tirkeş, Seha; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
New compounds consisting of 3-thienyl and aniline units linked by polyether bridges have been synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis and cyclic voltammetry. In the case of 3-thienyl derivatives two compounds, 1,12-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane (MI) and 1,15-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane (MII) were synthesized utilizing literature methods and their corresponding polymers, poly(I) and poly(II) were prepared in an electroly...
Synthesis of a new thiophene derivative and its uses as an electrochromic device component
Yiğitsoy, Başak; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2006)
2,5-Di(thiophen-2-yl)-1-p-tolyl-1H-pyrrole (DTTP) was synthesized via reaction of 1,4-di(2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione with p-toluidine in the presence of catalytical amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). Homopolymer P(DTTP) was achieved both by chemical and electrochemical techniques. Chemical polymerization of the monomer yielded a soluble polymer. The average molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) as Mn: 2.5x103 g/mol. The monomer was electrochemically polymerized in the p...
Synthesis and characterization of polythiophene/montmorillonite and polythiophene/polypropylene composites
Dülgerbaki, Çiğdem; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Chemistry (2006)
In this study, polythiophene(PTP)/montmorillonite(MMT) nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ intercalative polymerization and chemical oxidative polymerization. In in situ intercalative polymerization method, composites containing 90 and 95% MMT were prepared. In chemical oxidative polymerization method, a series of composites ranging from 1 to 15% by weight MMT were synthesized. Thermal and morphological properties of samples were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Thermal Gravim...
