Abstract

This work deals with the structural and vibrational characterization of PANI nanofibers prepared through interfacial polymerization using different concentrations of HCl aqueous solution. The results were compared to those obtained by PANI prepared through the conventional route. X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques showed that high concentrations of HCl solutions used in the preparation of the PANI nanofibers reduce their crystallinity. The increase of regions with granular morphology was also observed in the scanning electron microscopy images. The changes in the resonance Raman spectra from 200 to 500 cm (-1), FTIR spectra, and the EPR data of the PANI nanofibers reveal an increase in the torsion angles of C ring-N-C ring segments owing the formation of bipolarons in the PANI backbone higher than the PANI samples prepared by conventional route.
