Use of corona discharge for promoting polyaniline to the conductive state

In this article we show the use of the corona discharge to dope thin layers of PANI coated on PET films. It is also shown that the neutral excited molecules generated inthe corona discharge are responsible for the doping process in PANI. It is believed that this novel technique could be employed in a continuous doping process aiming to produce films with large area for anti-electrostatic packing applications
