Water-soluble polyaniline (PANI) films were synthesized by using poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl propanesulphonic acid) (PAMPS) as a water-soluble dopant. The aqueous solution conductivities of PANI/PAMPS films were in the range of 10−1 to 100 mS/cm which were increased compared with PAMPS films aqueous solution. The structure and microstructure characteristics of PANI/PAMPS films which varied greatly with different molar ratios of aniline/AMPS were investigated by SEM, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and XRD analysis. Moreover, the photoluminescence properties of PANI/PAMPS films were studied, and water-soluble PANI having appropriate size fitted to the increase of fluorescence emission intensity. PANI/PAMPS films were also investigated by FTIR spectroscopy and TG analysis.
