Electroanl. Chem., Vol. 177, pp. 281 -91
- Typical examples of protonic acids disclosed in the above prior art are HCI, H 2 SO 4 , sulfonic acids of the type R SO 3 H, wherein R, stands for an hydrocarbon residue, phosphoric acids, etc.
- Such acids form salt complexes with polyaniline, which may exhibit electrical conductivities of 10 "3 S/cm or more.
- these so-called “doped” poiyanilines or, as used hereinafter, poly ⁇ aniline salt complexes]
- these blends and compounds with common insulating bulk polymers are suitable for a variety of the anti-static and shielding applic ⁇ ations that are currently served by metal or carbon black filled polymer composi ⁇ tion.
- PCT Patent Application WO 89/01 694 discloses a processible polyaniline doped with a sulfonic acid. Said polyaniline is useful in processing conducting polymer blends using polyethylene, polypropylene and polyamides as the matrix polymer.
- PCT Patent Specification WO 90/1 3601 a polymer mixture is prepared by mixing a suitable liquid with a mixture of polyaniline and a multi-sulfonic acid, used as a doping agent, whereafter the liquid is evaporated.
- the doping is generally carried out at a temperature of 20 to 25 °C, and it is disclosed that the doping can be carried out as a heterogeneous reaction, followed by dissolution of the mixture in a suitable solvent. The processing into a final shape is carried out in the presence of a solvent.

- the doping of polyaniline has been carried out in a suspension of polyaniline and the sulfonic acid in an aqueous solution of formic acid.
- a relatively high content of conductive polyaniline is required to reach desirable levels of conductivity in the polyblend; or, in other words, the percolation threshold for the onset of conductivity is relatively high.
- the "percolation threshold” is defined as the weight fraction of conductive material needed to impart a conductivity of 10 "8 S/cm or more to a blend with an insulating matrix polymer.
- a percolation threshold existed of about at least 1 3 wt-% of the conductive polyaniline.
- Such high content of conductive polyaniline particles is not desirable, because it is not economical and, in addition, may substantially alter the mechanical properties of the blend in comparison with those of the pure matrix polymer.
- Percolation thresholds for the onset of conductivity of parts made according to this method were lower than in the case where solid polyaniline particles were mixed with thermoplastic matrix materials.
- use of the required excess quantity of protonic acid is highly undesirable, as it causes the materials to be acidic, corrosive and hygroscopic, which is undesirable for processing and application of these compositions.
- US Patent Specification No. 5,232,631 discloses solution- and melt-processible polyaniline compositions and blends that exhibit much lower percolation thresholds, sometimes even below 1 wt-% , of conductive polyaniline and a wide variety of non-conducting matrix polymers; such as, polyethylenes, isotactic polypropylene, elastomers, and the like; poly(vinylchloride), polystyrene, polyamides, such as PA 6, PA 1 2, and the like; poly(methylmethacrylate), polycarbonate, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS), and the like.

- compositions that exhibit a low percolation threshold are made from solutions of the conductive polyaniline and the matrix polymers in volatile organic solvents, which is uneconomical and environmentally hazardous and limits the use to products such as film, coatings and fibers.
- the same reference discloses mixtures of conductive polyaniline and insulating matrix polymers, such as polyethylenes and isotactic polypropylene, which are processed from the melt.
- the percolation threshold was only slightly lower than for mixtures in which the conductive polyaniline is in the solid form during processing and simply dispersed; cf. Plastics Technology 37 (1 991 ):9 p. 1 9-20.
- EP Patent Application No. 582,919 teaches the use of reaction products of metal compounds and protonic acids as plasticizers for conducting poiyanilines and for reducing the percolation threshold for the onset of conductivity in blends comprising bulk polymers; and for neutralizing acidic, protonated polyaniline compositions.
- This reference specifically teaches the use of the reaction product between zinc oxide and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid as a plasticizer and neutralization agent for conducting forms of polyaniline and blends thereof.
- the use of the afore-mentioned reaction product in conducting polyaniline compositions involves additional process steps that are uneconomical and reduce the environmental stability of the final materials.
- manufacturing of the above metal oxide-acid reaction products involves large amounts of highly corrosive and highly hygroscopic acids, which is unacceptable from a production and processing point of view.
- plasticizers are well known to those skilled in the art of polymer technology, and, not surprisingly, has also been employed in conductive polymer processing, cf. EP Patent Application No. 497,514, US Patent Specification No. 5, 171 ,478 and PCT Patent Application WO 92/2291 1 .
- plasticizers are used to enhance flow, and/or reduce the viscosity of polymeric materials during processing; and generally form a part of the polymer composition.
- EP 497,514 cited supra teaches the use of highly polar, ester-free plasticizer to plasticize the thermoplastic component of polymer blends comprising polyaniline.
- the plasticizer is selected to facilitate the flow only of the thermoplastic matrix, such as poly(vinyl chloride); and not to induce flow, or dissolve the polyaniline.
- plasticizers an extraordinary wide variety of chemical species termed plasticizers, ranging from water, p-toluene sulfonic acid to synthetic waxes and fluorinated hydrocarbons, to assist in thermally induced chain coupling of polyaniline which, according to the text, should be in the solid state.
- plasticizers ranging from water, p-toluene sulfonic acid to synthetic waxes and fluorinated hydrocarbons
- 92/2291 1 For example, Mesamoll (Bayer) was employed in a blend of conductive polyaniline and polyfvinyl chloride). However, Mesamoll is not a solvent for conductive polyaniline, and much like in the results in the above cited Plastics Technology 3_7 (1 991 ):9 p. 1 9-20 a percolation threshold existed of more than 10 % w/w of the conductive polyaniline.
- the above-mentioned combinations are based on either molecular recognition compounds that simultaneously form at least three of: one or more hydrogen bonds and one or more ring-ring interactions with, respectively, the NH-groups and the six-membered rings of the electrically conducting polyaniline salt complexes with anionic sulfate, sulfonate, phosphate, or phosphonate type surfactants; or a combination of aromatic sulfonamides with zinc sulfonates.

- the present conducting polyaniline compositions comprising both said molecular recognition compounds and surfactants open a new field of development which allows for enhanced processibility and electrical conductivity of blends which were previously obtainable only by special counter-ions.
- One component of the present compositions comprises an electrically conducting unsubstituted or substituted polyaniline salt complex or an electrically conducting polyaniline copolymer salt complex, or mixtures thereof, as described in US Patent Specifications Nos. 5,069,820 and 5,1 60,457 and U.S. Patent 5,232,631 .
- electrically conducting polyaniline salt complex When the term “electrically conducting polyaniline salt complex” is used in this application, it is used generically to denote electrically conducting unsubstituted and substituted poiyanilines and electrically conducting polyaniline copolymers, and mixtures thereof, that have been rendered electrically conducting by applying one or more strong protonic acids as counter-ions with pK a value of less than about 3.0.
- polyaniline is directly polymerized in the presence of the said protonic acids, such as H 2 S0 4 , HCI, or the like, leading to doped polyaniline.
- the doped polyaniline can be directly used without reduction to emeraldine base form.
- the emeraldine base form of PANI is prepared to produce non-conducting polyaniline, which is subsequently protonated by a strong protonic acid with a pKa value of less than about 3.0. No requirements are posed on the functionalization of the counter-ion.
- the known emeraldine base intermediate process step is employed in this embodiment, but instead of being limited to the use of functionalized counter ions such as DBSA, TSA or CSA, essentially any strong protonic acid is usable according to the present invention.
- the polyaniline used for the preparation of the electrically conductive polyaniline employed in the present invention can be in any of its physical forms. Illustrative of useful forms are those described in US Patents 5,232,631 and 4,983,322, incorporated by reference herein.

In the preferred embodiments of the invention, the number of repeating units is at least about 25, and in the most preferred embodiments, the number of repeating units is at least about 50.
- the second, essential component of the compositions of the present invention is comprised of the cyclic organic compounds which are capable of forming ring-to-ring interactions with the 6-membered rings of the polyaniline polymer and hydrogen bonds with the NH groups of said polyaniline.
- the surface active additives such as anionic sulfonate, sulfate, phosphonate or phosphate surfactants
- the organic compounds work as "solvent-plasticizers" of the conductive polyaniline composition especially when the counter ion is not functionalized; and, additionally, as 14
- van der Waals interaction which consists of attractive and repulsive parts.
- the attractive part consists mainly of induced dipolar interactions while the repulsive part is due to Pauli exclusion principle.
- the induced dipolar interaction between two atoms is very weak and significant attraction can be achieved only when the distance between the interacting atoms is proper.
- the induced dipolar interaction can be enhanced if several atoms simultaneously meet the favourable distance requirement.
- a simple example of such a situation is the ring-to-ring interaction between two phenyl rings.
- the same type of interaction benefitting from several favourable interatomic distances can be observed between a phenyl ring and an alicyclic ring, or two alicyclic rings, albeit especially in the latter case the interaction can be critically dependent on the relative position of the rings.
- the backbone of the protonated polyaniline consists of six-membered rings that are able to have said ring- to-ring interaction with phenyl rings or alicyclic rings of the molecular recognition compound or aromatic sulfonamides, respectively.
- the organic cyclic compounds or additives capable of forming ring-ring interactions with the 6-membered rings of the polyaniline polymer and hydrogen bonding with said polyaniline are, according to the present invention, either molecular recognition compounds or aromatic sulfonamides. These materials have low polarity (dielectric constant less than 25 and they are not capable of protonating polyaniline (pK a > 3).
- the cyclic organic compound capable of forming ring-to-ring interactions with the polyaniline are different from the protonic acid dopant of polyaniline.
- the molecular recognition compounds and the sulfonamides are employed in combination with surfactants. This unique combination renders conductive polyaniline polymers, which have been doped without functionalized counter-ions, fluid during processing. It enhances flow, and reduces the percolation threshold in blends with insulating or semiconducting polymers.
- the molecular recognition compounds according to the present invention are comprised of cyclic organic compounds having the general formula I
- A is a moiety capable of forming ring-ring interactions with the six-membered rings of electrically conducting polyaniline complexes; each A being independently selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted 3- to 7-membered rings, which rings may optionally include at least one nitrogen, sulfur or oxygen atom, and optionally substituted condensed ring systems thereof; and B is a moiety capable of forming hydrogen bonds to NH-groups of electrically conducting polyaniline complexes, each B being independently selected from the group consisting of -OH, -COOH, -COO-Q ⁇ -CO-Q -SO-O ⁇ -SO 2 -Q 1 f - SO 2 NH-Q 1 f -OCOO-Q,, -O-Q, , -SH, -S-

- such solvates may exhibit unusual electrical, optical magnetic and mechanical characteristics.
- the second important role of the molecular recognition compounds of the present invention is that of a "compatibilizer” in blends of the conductive polyaniline complexes and insulating or semiconductive polymers or prepolymers.
- the designation “compatibilizer” hereinafter refers to a species that improves the interaction between two immiscible liquid phases through close matching of the physico-chemical nature of the species and the two liquids.
- common surface active agents reduce the interfacial tension of water and oil, and, thereby “compatibilize” these two liquids, as it is understood in this invention.
- This compatibilizing is achieved in this simple example by providing a species [the surface active agent] that has two, covalently bonded moieties: one of which that strongly interacts with water; and the other moiety that has a favorable interaction with oil.
- the compatibilizing role of the substituted aromatic compounds according to the present invention in blends of the conducting polyaniline complexes and insulating or semiconductive polymers is similarly understood.
- the molecular recognition compounds shall have a moiety that favorably interacts with the polar polymers, and hence contain common polar groups such as, for example -OH, -O-, -COOH, -COO-Q ⁇ -CO-Q 1 f -SO- Q strictly -SO 2 -Q v -SO 2 NH-Q -OCOO-Q,, -O-Q -SH, -S-Q appliances -P(O)(O-Q.,)(O- ⁇ 2 ), -NO 2 , -CN, -CONH-Q 1 f -F, -Cl, -Br, and -I, wherein Q, and Q 2 are aliphatic or aromatic moieties.
- the molecular recognition compound in blends with non-polar or weakly polar polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and the like, the molecular recognition compound shall have a non-polar or weakly polar moiety, such as alkyls, alkenyl, cycloalkyls, phenyls, and the like.
- a non-polar or weakly polar moiety such as alkyls, alkenyl, cycloalkyls, phenyls, and the like.
- the molecular recognition compound has to fit to the aromatic character of the matrix polymer.
- the critically important feature of the molecular recognition compounds according to the present invention is that they are capable of simultaneously forming hydrogen bonds and ring-to-ring interactions with, respectively, the NH-groups and the six- membered rings of conducting polyaniline salt complexes.
- This unique behavior requires that the molecular recognition compounds has to fit in with the steric features of the polyaniline salt complex; the distances between the hydrogen bonding moieties and rings of the molecular recognition compounds have to match the corresponding distances of the polyaniline salt complex.
- the corresponding mechanisms are known in biological sciences where they are known as Fischer's lock and key notion of enzyme action, inclusion complex, host-guest complex or molecular recognition.
- the schematics of the molecular recognition compound concept is demonstrated in the Figure 1 where the "lock and key" aspect can be appreciated in the special case of substituted hydroquinones.
- the molecular recognition compounds are part of oligomeric or polymeric chain molecules; in the polymer chain or as pendant side-groups.

- aromatic sulfonamides in combination with zinc suifonates, are able to perform as solvent plasticizers by analogy with molecular recognition compounds (which work with a , broader group of anionic surfactants).
- the aromatic sulfonamides can be viewed as compounds that resemble molecular recognition compounds: they have only one hydrogen bonding moiety but it has very large partial charge.
- a surfactant phase is a novel and essential component of the present PANI compositions in addition to the molecular recognition compound.
- Surfactants are amphiphilic compounds which have two types of groups of opposing nature in the molecules. One of the groups is easily mixed with water (i.e. hydrophilic) while the other end mixes with oils (hydrophobic).
- the main groups of surfactants are anioni , cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants.
- the preferred surfactants in this patent specification are anionic surfactants and still the most preferred surfactants are the ones which have a strongly anionic moiety, such as sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate and phosphonate, as the hydrophilic moiety.
- the yet still most preferred group is sulfonate or sulfate.
- Examples of such compounds are well known detergents; such as alkyl suifonates, alkyl benzene suifonates, naphthalene suifonates, ⁇ -olefin suifonates, lignosulfonates, dialkyl sulfosuccinates, taurates, alkyl sulfates, ethoxylated sulfates, ethoxylated and sulfated alkyl phenols phosphate esters, phosphonates.
- detergents such as alkyl suifonates, alkyl benzene suifonates, naphthalene suifonates, ⁇ -olefin suifonates, lignosulfonates, dialkyl sulfosuccinates, taurates, alkyl sulfates, ethoxylated sulfates, ethoxylated and sulfated alkyl phenols phosphate esters, phosphonates.

- the accepted monovalent cations are Na + , + , and Li + ;
- the preferred divalent metal cations have small ionic radius such as are Zn 2 + , Mg 2+ , Mn 2 + , Cu 2 + , Pb 2 + , Fe 2 + , Ca 2 + ; Ti 4 + and Zr 4 + are also acceptable.
- the most preferred surfactant for polyolefin matrix is Zn(DBS) 2 . In the case of aromatic sulfonamides only Zn(DBS) 2 is preferred.
- the surfactants do not alone render solubility of PANI salt complex without functionalized counter ions, but they have to be combined with the said molecular recognition compounds or sulfonamides.
- the surfactant has to dissolve well enough into the molecular recognition compound or sulfonamide. Usually this is no problem for surfactants that melt at the typical processing conditions of about 200 °C. Thus, Zn(DBS) 2 , e.g., dissolves into hydroquinone. In that case, the amount of surfactant compared to the molecular recognition compound can be quite high. In contrast, if the neat surfactant does not melt at processing conditions, the limiting factor is its solubility to the molecular recognition compound. As an example it can be mentioned that NaDBS does not melt below 250 °C. However, it dissolves into hydroquinone.
- the anionic surfactant according to the invention can be an oligomeric or polymeric surfactant selected from the group comprising suifonates, sulfates, phosphonates and phosphates.
- a fourth, optional, component of the materials of the compositions of this invention is a substrate phase.
- This component which makes up about 1 to about 99.95 wt- % of the polymer blend, can comprise oligomeric, or polymeric, or pre-polymeric materials which can be transformed into a fluid (liquid or semisolid) form during processing so as to achieve the required intimate mixing with the electrically conducting polyaniline salt complex and the solvent-plasticizing substituted aromatic compound.
