Homologous Series of Polyaniline Derivatives Block Copolymers with Amphiphilic and Semiconducting Properties.

ABSTRACT: Semiconducting polymers with amphiphilic properties can play an increasing role in future organic and unimolecular electronic devices, especially due to their excellent processability and ease of self-assembly into thin films, but they could also be used as intermediate layers to improve electron transport in metal-organic junctions. In this work, we synthesized a homologous series of amphiphiles by copolymerization of aniline with aniline-N-propanesulfonic acid. The polymerization was first initiated with aniline, and the latter monomer was added at different time intervals: 2, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 min, spaced from the time of initiation. Thus, the poly(aniline-co-aniline-N-propanesulfonic acid) (PANi-co-PANs) homologous series of copolymers obtained had the same length of
