Iron oxide – poly(m-anthranilic acid)–poly(ε-caprolactone) electrospun composite nanofibers: fabrication and properties

Abstract

The inclusion of iron and carboxylic acid- functionalized polyaniline into polymeric polycaprolactone structures is expected to enhance the electron-donating ability which in turn increases the compound conductivity and may induce...

Anthranilic Acid: A Versatile Monomer for the Design of Functional Conducting Polymer Composites

“…All three aminobenzoic acid isomers (with the COOH group being positioned either ortho, meta, or para with respect to the amino group) have been used as copolymers in PANI systems [74,91,92]. In the case of the 4-aminobenzoic acid (4ABA) isomer, the COOH group blocks the 4-position, thereby impeding head-to-tail coupling, and would be expected to force ortho coupling, which would lead to a much more sterically complex polymer structure, as indicated in Figure 5.…”

“…Benyoucef et al (2005) found that the meta derivative was more difficult to oxidize than the ortho and was associated with a greater degree of chain branching and shorter chains [24]. The structural consequences of ortho and meta anthranilic acid, however, have yet to be fully clarified [74,91]. 2016) employed 4-aminobenzoic acid not as a homopolymer but rather as an electropolymerizable end cap, which was added to a hyperbranched aliphatic polyester.…”
