Polyaniline nanofibers prepared with ammonium persulfate as oxidant

Polyaniline is a conducting polymer that has been widely studied for electronic and potential applications including lightweight battery electrodes, electromagnetic shielding devices, anticorrosion coatings, and sensors [1]. Nanostructured polyaniline (nanorods/-wires/-fibers) offers the possibility of enhanced performance wherever a high interfacial area between polyaniline and its environment is important.
