Poly(aniline): a conducting polymer as a novel anion-exchange resin

Abstract

Poly(aniline) resins were prepared by a one-step redox polymerization of aniline with persulfate in various molar ratios. The resin samples were characterized by elemental analysis, solid-state conductivity and solid-state cross-polarization magic angle spinning 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies. The resins were used for binary and tertiary separations.
