Electrospinning Polyaniline for Sensors

Abstract

<p>Polyaniline is a conductive polymer (organic metal) with multiple uses as a sensor for mineral acids, ammonia, VOCs etc. The yield of the electrochemical reactions being proportional to the surface area, it is expected that polyaniline nanofibers to provide great opportunities for applications in electronic nanodevices. This article reviews electrospinning configurations (classic, coaxial, with 2 collectors, with rotary collector, with liquid collector etc.) used to obtain 3D structures of electrospun polyaniline, alone or mixed with other polymers, which are used in sensors.</p>
