Soluble polyaniline has huge application potential and the future market needs to be further developed.

Polyaniline (PANI) is a type of long-chain conjugated polymer whose main chain consists of two units: p-phenylenediamine and quinonediimide. Due to chain rigidity and strong inter-chain interactions, polyaniline has extremely poor solubility and is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, so its application is subject to certain limitations. In response to the solubility problem of polyaniline, researchers have conducted a lot of research and made certain progress, and soluble polyaniline came into being.

According to different forms, polyaniline can be divided into intrinsic polyaniline, conductive polyaniline and soluble polyaniline. Compared with intrinsic polyaniline, the solubility and processability of soluble polyaniline are significantly improved, and its application prospects are more promising. broad. Soluble polyaniline is one of the research hotspots in the field of conductive polymer materials. At present, soluble polyaniline can be prepared through the preparation of polyaniline complexes, structural modification, doping induction, preparation of polyaniline colloidal particles, and preparation of conductive polyaniline alkyl derivatives. obtained in other ways.

According to the “2022-2027 China Soluble Polyaniline Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Soluble polyaniline can be used to prepare equipment and materials with special functions, such as conductive glue, solid electrolytes, urease sensors, electron field emission sources, selective membrane materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, anti-corrosion coatings, conductive fibers, etc., in electronics, displays , coatings, inks, sensors and other fields have broad application prospects.

Polyaniline has the characteristics of low price, easily available raw materials, good chemical stability, and simple synthesis process. In recent years, with the continuous growth of my country’s economy, polyaniline has been widely researched and applied. From 2015 to 2021, my country’s polyaniline market demand continued to grow, reaching 650 tons in 2021, and the market size increased to 1.86 billion yuan. Through compounding, modification, etc., the application value of polyaniline can be improved and its application scope expanded, thereby achieving diversified and high value-added development of the polyaniline market.

Soluble polyaniline has great application potential, but at present, its application is still relatively limited. Against the background of increasingly stringent environmental protection regulations, the market has a growing demand for conductive materials that do not contain heavy metals such as zinc and chromium and are anti-corrosive and environmentally friendly. As a new generation of polymer conductive materials, soluble polyaniline has attracted increasing market attention. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, high-performance electrode materials represented by soluble polyaniline are expected to emerge suddenly.

Industry analysts said that the solubility and processability of soluble polyaniline are due to the rapid development of traditional polyaniline in the new energy and electronic industries. Background, soluble polyaniline has great application potential. Soluble polyaniline is one of the research hotspots in the field of conductive polymer materials. However, at present, because the relevant research is still immature, the application scope of soluble polyaniline is limited, and the future market needs to be further developed.
