Özet

The chemical polymerization of o-toluidine was carried out in dimethylformamide/aqueous HCl solution using benzoyl peroxide. The conductivity of poly(o-toluidine) (POT) doped with HCl changed from 2.0x10-4 to 15.6x10-4S cm-1 depending on the polymerization parameters. The solubility of POT in DMSO was found as 0.3g/100mL, in which the solubility of HCl-doped polyaniline was 0.042g/100mL. Characterization of synthesized POT was performed by conductivity, solubility, FT-IR, UV-vis, and TGA techniques. Thermal-sensing property of POT was also investigated between -10 degrees and +120 degrees C by heating-cooling cycles.
