Abstract: Polyaniline thermal doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid was found to form a liquid-crystalline solution in m-cresol.Apolarizing optical microscope and X-ray diffraction measurement were used to study the texture of liquid-crystalline phase.The doped methods had a great effect on the solubility of PAN-DBSAin organic solvents and the appearance of lyotropic liquid crystal of PAN-DBSAsolution.An ordered smectic structure with a layer spacing of d=3.309 nm can be observed for the thermal doped PAN-DBSAin m-cresol.
