A stable aqueous dispersion of polyaniline and polymeric acid

Conditions that allow obtaining stable aqueous dispersions based on conducting polymer, polyaniline, as a result of aniline polymerization in the solution of polymeric acid at its twofold excess were determined. The electrical and optical properties of polianiline obtained under these conditions remain invariable during at least 2 years due to the absence of aggregation of conducting polymer particles that are separated by macromolecules of polymeric acid. Data obtained by EPR spectroscopy, SEM, UV–visible spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy prove these results.
