Conductivity tailoring of blends of fusible polyaniline and polyolefins by viscosity ratio

Several types of plasticizers allow acid doped polyaniline (PANI) to become fusible, if their specific interaction to acid doped PANI is sufficiently strong. We show that if the counter-ion and the plasticizer are additionally amphiphilic, a surface active comb-shaped macrosalt is rendered, whose phase continuity in blends of nonpolar polymers can be tailored by their viscosity ratio, as in conventional polymer blends.
