A comparative study on the effect of surfactant on the chemical polymerization of O-phenylenediamine
Author(s): Dr. Ravindra Singh Yadav
Abstract: The poly (o-phenylenediamine) was chemically synthesized using ferric chloride as an oxidant and hydrochloric acid as an initiator. O-Phenylenediamine (OPD) is an organic compound with the formula C6H4 (NH2)2. This aromatic diamine is an important precursor to many heterocyclic compounds. It is isomeric with m-phenylenediamine and p-phenylenediamine. Different concentration of the anionic surfactant like Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate was used to study their effects on the polymers. The synthesized polymers were characterized using FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and their thermal properties were study using TGA, DTG and DTA. The SEM and XRD studies show that the prepared polymers were crystalline in nature. The conductivity study was carried using four probe method in room temperature and was found to be semiconducting in nature.
