摘要
Wetting properties and surface structure of polyaniline (PANT) thin films were studied as a function of the polymer thickness, using AFM and neutron reflectivity. Increasing the oxidation state as well as polymer thickness was found to increase the tendency of the polymer to form polycrystalline films. Three main regions with characteristic behavior were observed: ultra thin films of the order of several molecular layers, an intermediate thickness film of several molecular layers to similar to 150nm, and films thicker than 150nm. In the ultra thin region the polymer formed nano-scale spherical domains. In the intermediate one, the films tend to be continuous and amorphous. In the thick films, crystallinity was observed.
