Abstract

A method is proposed for the preparation of a conducting polyaniline-nylon 6 composite with controlled morphology of its surface. The method consists of the ammonium persulfate-induced oxidation polymerization of aniline in the presence of nylon 6. As has been established with the use of atomic force microscopy, spherical polyaniline particles are formed on the surface of nylon 6 and their sizes decrease with an increase in the duration of nylon 6 hydrothermal modification at 100° C. It is shown that a decline in polyaniline particle size in the polyaniline-nylon 6 composite enhances its reactivity with respect to KI.
