Oxidative polymerization conducted the synthesis of polyaniline in the presence of iron gluconate in the water. Iron gluconate is present in the resulting polyaniline (PANI). The PANI composite exhibited multiple signals in electron spin resonance, including half-field resonance of multiple spin states, the center-field resonance of polarons as radical cations in conducting polymer, and a signal from a defect in the main chain. Infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy measurements confirmed the chemical structure of the PANI composite. The composite exhibits the mixed magnetism of PANI as a conducting polymer and Fe ions in the composite according to superconducting interference device (SQUID) measurements. Combining organic-conjugated polymers and inorganic materials can result in a unique magnetism.
Synthesis of polyaniline in the presence of fullerene nanotubes (nanocarbons) in water was carried out with oxidative polymerization. The surface of the sample showed metallic emerald green color in bulk like the brilliance of encrusted gemstones. The composite showed unique magnetic behavior, such as microwave power-dependent magnetic resonance as magnetic spin behavior and macroscopic paramagnetism with a maximum χ value at room temperature evaluated with superconductor interference device. Surface structure of the composite was observed with optical microscopy, circular polarized differential interference contrast optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe micro analyzer. Polymer blends consisting of polyaniline, nano-carbons, and hydroxypropylcellulose or acryl resin with both conducting polymer and carbon characters were prepared, which can be applied for electrical conducting plastics. The combination of conducting polymer and nano-carbon materials can produce new electro-magneto-active soft materials by forming a composite. This paper reports evaluation of magnetic properties as a new point of nanocarbon and conducting polymer composite.
