Synthesis, identification and study of electrical conductivity of the doped poly aniline

Poly aniline and poly aniline doped with 2,5-dimethyl benzene sulfonic acid (PXSA), 4-hydroxy-m-benzene disulfonic acid (PDSA), 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzene sulfonic acid (OCPSA) were prepared. The polymers are identified by FT-IR and UV–vis spectroscopy. The ionic conductivities of poly aniline and poly aniline doped with 2,5-dimethyl benzene sulfonic acid (PXSA), 4-hydroxy-m-benzene disulfonic acid (PDSA), 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzene sulfonic acid (OCPSA) were studied as a function of weight of the dopant compounds. It is noted that an increase of the conductance of poly aniline by doping with OCPSA, and became equal to 0.001321 Ω−1 for 1 g higher than the conductance for the poly aniline when it is doped with OCPSA.
