Preparation of polyaniline solution in organic solvents by grafting with 2-hydroxy ethyle metha acrylate monomer via ATRP

Polyaniline (PANI) is a conducting polymer that has received special attention due to its high stability toward air and moisture and unique electrical conductivity properties.[1] Polyaniline has the generalformula [(–B–NH–B–NH–)y(–B–N=Q=N–)1−y]x, in which B and Q denote C6H4 rings in benzenoid and quinoid forms, respectively [2,3]. This polymer is also important in applications such as rechargeable batteries, elecxro- magnetic shielding materials, sensors, electro-optics, and light-emitting diodes.[4]
