Mechanically Driven Activation of Polyaniline into Its Conductive Form

Abstract: Mechanical treatment of polymers produces surface cations and anions which, as demonstrated here for the first time, can drive chemical reactions. In particular, it is shown that such a mechanical treatment transforms nonconductive polyaniline into its conductive form. These results provide a mechanical means of patterning conductive polymers and also coating small polymer objects with conductive polyaniline films preventing accumulation of static electricity.

“…We propose such a connection between LP formation and the above mentioned “tracking” can be made by coupling a mechanical input to the reaction–diffusion process. It has been already shown that mechanical input is used to initiate and affect chemical reactions (referred to as mechanochemistry), chemically functionalize surfaces, and sometimes even alter conventional (thermal or photo) reaction pathways . In material science, there are also applications of macroscopic mechanical inputs, such as prestraining (printing on a stretched substrate), that have been used for transformation of 2D structures into 3D objects.…”

“…Herein we show that the information embedded in the presence/absence, location, and geometry of the patterns formed in reaction-diffusion systems can be used to track mechanical changes in the surrounding environment and be used for the complex patterning of other (secondary) materials.We propose such a connection between LP formation and the above mentioned "tracking" can be made by coupling a mechanical input to the reaction-diffusion process. It has been already shown that mechanical input is used to initiate and affect chemical reactions (referred to as mechanochemistry), [28,29] chemically functionalize surfaces, [30,31] and sometimes even alter conventional (thermal or photo) reaction pathways.

“…In this context, various methods have been developed to tailor molecular assemblies on a macroscopic scale, in which stimuli‐responsive molecules are the best candidates to mimic such biological systems. For example, highly ordered stimuli‐responsive molecules often exhibit macroscopic scale phenomena due to an external stimulus, such as light or mechanical force . Aida et al.…”
