Abstract
A series of polyaniline (PANI) films were prepared on quartz substrates by in situ polymerization with different reaction time under 450Â MPa of hydrostatic high pressure. For investigating the effect of high pressure on the growth of the films, two additional series of samples with comparable conditions under ambient pressure were synthesize. The aniline cation radicals nucleated within 2Â min and the polyaniline films grew within 10Â min at 450Â MPa of pressure. This compared with about 10Â min for nucleation and 60Â min for growth of polyaniline films under comparable ambient conditions. The process of PANI film growth under high pressure was obviously different from that in ambient pressure case. The high pressure used in polymerization affected directly the electrical property, the morphology, and growth of the films. A formation model of polyaniline film growth in high pressure case was proposed.
