In this work polyaniline (PANI) has been made through polymerization of aniline using emulsion polymerization technique. The polymerization is carried out in an emulsion comprising water and a non-polar or weakly polar organic solvent (Xylene) in the presence of the functionalized protonic acid dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid (DBSA). It is found that using the emulsion polymerization technique, conducting PANI-DBSA complexes can be produced that exhibit high molecular weight, good conductivity and high solubility in organic solvents in the electrically conducting state. Electrically conducting polyaniline PANI-DBSA prepared by an inverted emulsion polymerization in which DBSA played both roles of surfactant and dopant. Fourier transform infrared FTIR. spectroscopy for the PANI-DBSA showed the existence of hydrogen bonding between PANI and DBSA which indicates the existence of PANI. UV-Vis spectra was performed to check the doping level of DBSA. The electrical conductivity measurement, TGA test and measurement of viscosity was also studied in the book.
