polyaniline anyone?

JULIE ANN BONSUBRE · Post by **JULIE ANN BONSUBRE** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 10:42 pm

I am looking at the possibility of having the question, " Is there a possibility of getting polyaniline in plastics?" can you suggest something to refine this subject?

Would it be possible?

please help! I'm getting caught with time!

thanx

Julie,

Your question is pretty vague, and I am not sure how exactly you intended to word it.

Anyway, I dug up something that may be of interest to you:

[So, for the moment at least, the nanotube revolution remains focused on plastics spiked with cheap multiwall nanotubes. But don 't scoff it 's still revolutionary. For starters, nanotubes can make plastics conduct better than copper. David Carroll and his colleagues at Clemson University in South Carolina have been adding nanotubes to plastics that already conduct, such as polyaniline (PANI), to boost their performance. "On its own PANI isn 't quite conducting enough to replace copper wires," explains Carroll. "With the addition of nanotubes you could potentially replace all the heavy copper in an aircraft with lightweight plastic wires." Such weight savings would quickly lead to lower fuel consumption.

GREETINGS!!!

I was pleased to see your response. Thanks a lot though I am not quite sure if i can use it this time...well, I myself is quite apprehensive in asking those questions.huh! The idea I was drowning into is to get polyaniline from plastics. Sort of recycling...

Do you think it's vague as loooking for possible medicine for Lupus Erythematosus?

thanks for the past and future favor!
