Abstract
Abstract Sulfonic acid-substituted polyaniline salt compositions, processes for their preparation and uses therefor are disclosed. The sulfonated polyaniline salt compositions have fast electronic and optical responses to electrochemical potentials, improved environmental stability, and improved solubility. A process for producing the sulfonated polyaniline salt compositions comprises reacting a sulfonated polyaniline polymer with an aqueous basic solution. The sulfonated polyaniline compositions are useful for absorption of electromagnetic radiation, as a high density erasable data storage medium for use in information storage and processing applications, and to provide electronic, chemical, electrochemical, and optical microelectronic devices which use and control the chemical and physical properties of the sulfonated polyaniline salt compositions.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
216 words
A sulfonated polyaniline composition having recurring units of formula I ##STR8## wherein 0≦y≦1, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, --SO 3 H, --R 7 SO 3 H, --SO 3 M, --R 7 SO 3 M, --OCH 3 , --CH 3 , --C 2 H 5 , --F, --Cl, --Br, --I, --N(R 7 ) 2 , --NHCOR 7 , --OH, --O - , --SR 7 , --OR 7 , --OCOR 7 , --NO 2 , --COOH, --COOR 7 , --COR 7 , --CHO and --CN, wherein R 7 is a C 1 -C 8 alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, wherein M is a positive cation; the sulfonated polyaniline composition being comprised of x and z fractions of phenyl or quinoid rings, wherein x is that fraction of phenyl or quinoid rings that have an --SO 3 - group and wherein z is that fraction of phenyl or quinoid rings that have an --SO 3 - group and the M positive cation; such that when the sulfonated polyaniline composition has fewer z fractions than x fractions, the composition is a conductor and as the number of z fractions approaches the number of x fractions, the composition becomes nonconducting.
