A review on high-throughput synthesis, deposition of thin films and properties of polyaniline

Abstract Polyaniline (PANI) has attracted a special attention from researchers, scientists and chemists in fields of nanotechnology. It is widely known for its easy synthesis process, high environmental stability and can be easily doped by different acids/ dyes and other dopants. This review deals with the synthesis of PANI by several methods in which oxidative polymerization is the main focused as well as deposition of thin films via chemical & physical methods has been discussed. Several properties of PANI thin films such as magnetic, electrical, redox, antioxidant, anticorrosion, along with its sensing properties to various analytes, etc. are discussed at the end of the review.
