Study of the Effect of Adding Aniline on the Polymerization of Pyrrole Aldehyde (Shape and Size of the Resulting Nanoparticles and Film Properties)

539–546 (2025)

PACS numbers: 68.37.Hk, 68.37.Ps, 78.30.Jw, 78.67.Bf, 81.07.Nb, 81.16.Fg, 82.35.Cd

Conducting polymers are important materials with important applications. Most of their applications depend on the shape of the particles and often on their thin films. In this paper, a new copolymer is synthesized from aniline and formylpyrrole in acidic solution. The polymer is described using infrared spectroscopy, and the presence of hexagonal rings in its structure is confirmed. In the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, a change in the shape of the particles is observed to become fibres instead of balls in poly(2-formylpyrrole) (PFPy) that confirms the effect of the presence of aniline as a reactant. Thin films are fabricated by anchoring onto glass films of different thicknesses. The surface of the film appears rough and contains many peaks, whose heights range between 10 and 30 nanometers, and the dimensions of its particles match the SEM images.

KEY WORDS: aniline, 2-formylpyrrole, thin films, polymerization, conducting polymers
