ABSTRACT
The effect of substituted aromatic amines on the process of heterophase oxidative polymerization of aniline and the quality of the formed polyaniline layers was studied for regulation of characteristics of composites based on them. It was shown that p-phenylenediamine (p-PDA), being a catalyst of the oxidation process at the start of the reaction produces practically no effect on the rate of polyaniline formation at the interface. M-phenylenediamine (m-PDA) shows strong inhibitory properties by increasing the induction period of the reaction and decreasing the rate of the reaction. Diphenylamine (DPA) produces practically no effect on the kinetic parameters of the process, but it impairs the quality of the forming polyaniline layers. Composite films, formed on the basis of polystyrene solution and polyaniline microlayers, obtained directly during the reaction, 58are characterized by homogeneity and excellent electrophysical and strength properties.
