Effect of Synthesis Temperature on Properties of Polyaniline

The effect of synthesis temperature on percentage yield, thermal stability, surface morphology, crystallinity, and conductivity of polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (PANI-DBSA) was studied. PANI-DBSA was synthesized at and the 5, 10,20, 25 and 30 0C and the percent yield of the product was determined. Furthermore, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were utilized to inspect the variation in different physicochemical properties of the synthesized polymer with changing synthesis temperature
