A simple solid-state method to synthesize polyaniline dendrites without using any surfactant and organic acid has been demonstrated for the first time. XRD, FTIR and TGA analyses indicate the dendrites are doped emeradaline salt with good crystallinity. The growth mechanism of the branched nanofibers in solid-state reaction is studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
