Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This work focuses on the comparison between the morphological, chemical, and electrical properties of polyaniline doped with fluoridric and polyaniline, and doped with sulfuric acid. The FT‐IR, XRD, and SEM/EDS results indicate that the use of hydrofluoric acid as doping agent does not provide meaningful changes in the crystalline and morphological structure of polyaniline. Although, the inclusion of F⁻ type counter‐ions from the doping process with HF provide more compact, denser, and with higher electrical conductivity polymeric matrices. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
