Polyaniline: a new concept in conducting polymers
Open accessAbstract
The analytically pure base form of polyaniline, , corresponding to the emeraldine oxidation state is converted from an insulator (σ 10−10S/cm) to a metal (σ 5 S/cm) by treatment with 1M aqueous HCl to form the corresponding salt, emeraldine hydrochloride, . This involves a new type of doping of a conducting polymer in that the number of electrons associated with the polymer undergoes no change during the protonic acid doping process. The metallic emeraldine hydrochloride is believed to be a delocalized poly(semiquinone radical cation) having a polaron conduction band, with most of the positive charge residing on the nitrogen atoms. It exhibits a finite density of states at the Fermi energy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
