PANI-LDH prepared by polymerization–adsorption method and processing to conductive compounds

Polyaniline (PANI), a promising conjugated polymer, was synthesized using acetic acid (AA), dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). The influence of dopants on the solubility and conductivity behavior of PANI were investigated. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) was initially pillared by a common modifier, dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) and further modified with PANI/DBSA using the solution adsorption method. Electron conduction integrated LDH was melt-mixed with maleic anhydride modified polyethylene (PE-g-MA) and individuals were characterized via XRD, conductivity, rheology, and FTIR.
