The chemical polymerization of aniline was carried out in acetonitrile/ water media by the use of benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. Among the acids chosen as dopant the highest yield was obtained in HCl with 24.8% and the highest conductance was observed in H2SO4 with 0.082 S cm(-1). The effect of HCl, benzoyl peroxide and aniline concentrations upon polyaniline yield and conductivity was also investigated. The polyaniline was characterized by conductivity measurements, UV-Vis and FTIR.
