Spectroelectrochemical, EPR and Conductivity Investigations of Thin-Films of Vacuum-Deposited Polyaniline
The fractionating vacuum thermal deposition of emeraldine base produces the oligomers of polyaniline dispersed in the polymer organic matrix. The cyclic acid-base treatment of the low temperature fractions results in restoration of their polyaniline-like spectral, electrochemical, electric and paramagnetic properties. This is not the case for the high temperature fractions possibly as a consequence of their more defective structure and higher content of thermal destruction products.
