Abstract:

Abstract By using the template of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers, PANI/PAN nanofibers of conducting forms were prepared in situ chemical polymerization of aniline with the oxidant (NH4)2S2O4.  The SEM indicates that the long nanofibers are randomly distributed in a fibrous mat with a rough surface composed PANI particles whose diameters are about 70-80 nm.  And the nanofibers′  core-shell structure, i.e. coaxial structure, which is consisted of core nanofiber of PAN and shell of PANI, is also displayed clearly by TEM image.  The PANI/PAN coaxial conducting nanofibers were dedoped by dilute ammonia solution and then redoped by PFOS, exhibiting wonderful superhydrophobicity.  The wettability of PANI/PAN coaxial nanofiber can be actively controlled by the doped different organic sulfonic acids on the surface.
