Light hinders ordering in polyaniline — Elizaveta Alekseeva, Elena Tomšík, and •Natalia Gospodinova — Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry AS CR, Heyrovsky Sq. 2, 162 06 Prague 6, Czech Republic

Liotropic liquid crystalline state with features of chromonic mesophase [1] and J-aggregates [2] is shown to precede formation of highly crystalline self-oriented polyaniline films during water evaporation. Importantly, that not only increase of temperature but also exposition to non-polarized light substantially hinders self-assembly into liquid crystalline state which is prerequisite for formation of fibril-like crystals building polycrystalline polyaniline films. X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and optical absorption spectroscopy have been employed in this study.
