Surface and thermodynamic characterization of conducting polymers by inverse gas chromatography II. Polyaniline and its blend.
Inverse gas chromatography was used to characterize both doped, the undoped polyaniline (PANI), and its blend with nylon-6 using 27 solutes. The change in the morphology of these polymers was detected between 80 and 180 degrees C and was complemented by the degree of crystallinity. Delta H1(s)values of all solutes - pure polymers were found endothermic and exothermic for the blend. The X'23 depended on the chemical nature of solutes; a correction measure was not successful in obtaining the true values of X'23. X'23 showed a phase separation of the blend (60:40 w/w) between 80 and 180 degrees C. Blending nylon-6 with PANI has lowered the dispersive surface energy of PANI while increasing the surface energy of nylon-6.
