Description

  The present invention relates to a conductive composition.

  As the conductive polymer, polyaniline or the like is a well-known material. In addition to its electrical characteristics, polyaniline has the advantage that it can be synthesized relatively easily from inexpensive aniline and exhibits excellent stability against air or the like in a state of conductivity.

As a method for producing polyaniline, a method of electrolytic oxidation polymerization or chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline or aniline derivatives is known.
Regarding electrolytic oxidation polymerization, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 describe a method of polymerizing aniline on an electrode. In electrolytic oxidation polymerization, a film having excellent electrical characteristics and the like can be obtained. However, in general, the production cost is higher than that of chemical oxidative polymerization, it is not suitable for mass production, and it is difficult to obtain a molded article having a complicated shape.

On the other hand, in order to obtain a conductive polymer of aniline or an aniline derivative by chemical oxidative polymerization, in general, a dopant (doping agent) is added to polyaniline in a non-conductive base state (so-called emeraldine base state) to perform protonation. A process is required.
However, polyaniline in a nonconductive base state is not suitable for industrial production because it hardly dissolves in most organic solvents. Moreover, the conductive polyaniline (so-called emeraldine salt state) generated after the protonation is substantially insoluble and infusible, and it is difficult to easily manufacture a conductive composite material and a molded body thereof.

Under such circumstances, several proposals have been made as a method for improving the affinity of a polyaniline in a non-conductive base state and the conductivity of the conductive polyaniline after doping to an organic solvent.
For example, Non-Patent Document 1 describes that excellent electrical characteristics are exhibited by using a proton acid having affinity for an organic solvent, such as dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid and camphor sulfonic acid (CSA), as a dopant. ing.
Patent Document 3 describes a method in which polyaniline in a non-conductive base state is dissolved in m-cresol using, for example, adamantane sulfonic acid as a dopant.

Non-Patent Document 2, for example, in a special solvent (halogen-based strong acid) such as 2,2-dichloroacetic acid, using 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid as a dopant and a non-conductive base state A method for doping polyaniline is described.
In Patent Document 4, for example, as in Patent Document 2, 2,2-dichloroacetic acid is used as a solvent, and di (2-ethylhexyl) ester of sulfosuccinic acid is used as a dopant to dope polyaniline in a non-conductive base state. A method is described.

On the other hand, Patent Document 5 reports that a doped polyaniline can be easily obtained by using an anionic surfactant as a dopant in a two-phase polymerization system of a solvent and water substantially immiscible with water. Has been.
However, it cannot be said that a molded article made of conductive polyaniline obtained by these methods is excellent in electrical characteristics such as electrical conductivity.

  Examples of the water-soluble organic solvent include alcohols; ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; polar ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; and aprotic polar solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidone.

As the organic solvent, it is preferable to use a mixed organic solvent of a water-immiscible organic solvent and a water-soluble organic solvent in a mass ratio of 99 to 50: 1 to 50.
