In this work, we report the synthesis and purification of polyvinyl alcohol-polyaniline (PVA⁻PANI) copolymers at different aniline concentrations, and their molecular (¹H-NMR and FTIR), thermal (TGA/DTG/DSC), optical (UV⁻Vis-NIR), and microstructural (XRD and SEM) properties before and after activation with glutaraldehyde (GA) in order to obtain an active membrane. The PVA⁻PANI copolymers were synthesized by chemical oxidation of aniline using ammonium persulfate (APS) in an acidified (HCl) polyvinyl alcohol matrix. The obtained copolymers were purified by dialysis and the precipitation⁻redispersion method in order to eliminate undesired products and compare changes due to purification. PVA⁻PANI products were analyzed as gels, colloidal dispersions, and thin films. ¹H-NMR confirmed the molecular structure of PVA⁻PANI as the proposed skeletal formula, and FTIR of the obtained purified gels showed the characteristic functional groups of PVA gels with PANI nanoparticles. After exposing the material to a GA solution, the presence of the FTIR absorption bands at 1595 cm -1 , 1650 cm -1 , and 1717 cm -1 confirmed the activation of the material. FTIR and UV⁻Vis-NIR characterization showed an increase of the benzenoid section of PANI with GA exposure, which can be interpreted as a reduction of the polymer with the time of activation and concentration of the solution. |
