Polyaniline (PANI) has emerged as an important conducting polymer because of its good environmental stability, low cost, and high conductivity upon doping with acid. 1, 2 The methods proposed to synthesize watersoluble conducting polyaniline involved either the attachment of water-soluble functional groups to its benzene rings or the replacement of in the NH groups of PANI by water-soluble functional groups. Yue and Epstein3, 4 have synthesized sulfonic acid ring-substituted PANI (SPAN) by reacting the emeraldine base with fuming acid and obtained a conductivity of 0.1-1 S/cm. However, the polymer obtained became watersoluble only after its conversion to the salt form after undoping with a basic aqueous solution. The replacement of the sulfonic acid group with phosphoric acid yielded another water-soluble self-doped ring-substituted PANI, which exhibited, however, the low conductivity of 10-3 S/cm. 5 Hany et al. 6 attempted to synthesize a self-doped PANI by reacting the emeraldine base with propane sultone or butane sultone. However, the product had both a very low solubility and low conductivity (∼ 10-9 S/cm). Through a variant of the latter method, an N-substituted water-soluble self-doped PANI, poly-(aniline-co-propanesulfonic acid aniline)[PAPSAH], was synthesized by reacting the emeraldine base first with NaH and subsequently with propane sultone. PAPSAH could be cast into free-standing films directly from its aqueous solution and provided a conductivity of about 10-2 S/cm without external doping. 7 Another approach for the preparation of N-substituted water-soluble selfdoped conductive PANI was the copolymerization of aniline with a suitable substituted aniline to generate copolymers. The copolymer thus obtained exhibited improved solubility in an aqueous NH4OH solution; 8 however, its conductivity was low (10-3 S/cm). In conclusion, the above approaches synthesized watersoluble self-doped polyanilines by modifying the structure of the emeraldine base.A new water-soluble self-doped copolymer, namely, poly (aniline-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid,[PAMPANI]), and its salt have been synthesized by us. Both PAMPANI and its salt could be dissolved in water and cast into films from their aqueous solutions.
