Popis: Electroactive polyaniline fibres have been prepared by eletrodeposition in aniline and hydrochloric acid aqueous media. The influence of applied potential and polymerization time on the electrochemical polymerization of polyaniline fibres have been investigated. Morphology and structure of PANI were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical behaviors of PANI were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the applied potential and the polymerization time have a crucial influence on the polymerization rate and conductivity of the PANI prepared. It indicates that the properties, as well as the morphology of PANI, could be changed by applied potential and po-lymerization time, etc. This change might result in the quality of PANI suitable for specific applications.
