Description

Polyaniline composite, composition thereof and molded product

The present invention relates to a novel polyaniline composite and a method for producing the same, and further relates to a conductive composition using the polyaniline composite and a molded product obtained therefrom.

Polyaniline is a well-known material as one of conductive polymers. In addition to its electrical properties, polyaniline has the advantage and property of being able to be synthesized relatively easily from inexpensive aniline and exhibiting 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.
In electrolytic oxidation polymerization, a film having excellent electrical properties can be obtained. However, in general, the production cost is higher than chemical oxidation polymerization, and it is not suitable for mass production. Have difficulty.

On the other hand, in order to obtain a conductive aniline or aniline derivative polymer by chemical oxidative polymerization, in general, a dopant (doping agent) is added to polyaniline obtained in a non-conductive base state (so-called emeraldine base state). The process of nation is required. However, polyaniline in the non-conductive base state is not suitable for industrial production because it hardly dissolves in most organic solvents. Furthermore, 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.

In response to the above problems, the present inventors have developed a soluble conductive polyaniline complex and a composition thereof that are easy to manufacture and handle (Patent Document 1).
International Publication No. 2005/052058 Pamphlet

Although the polyaniline complex and the composition thereof described in Patent Document 1 have excellent properties, further improvements have been required for the polyaniline complex and the composition thereof, and the production method thereof.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel and excellent polyaniline complex, a method for producing the same, a composition and a molded body using the same.

As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that the conductivity of the polyaniline composition depends on the organic acid and inorganic acid doping ratio of the polyaniline complex, and the ratio of the organic dopant to the inorganic dopant, the molecular weight, and the molecular weight distribution. Further, it has been found that according to the multistage polymerization method, the polyaniline complex having high conductivity can be obtained by controlling the doping rate, the ratio between the organic dopant and the inorganic dopant, the molecular weight, and the molecular weight distribution within a specific range. In a conductive polymer, the doping rate, doping species, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution listed here are important structural factors that determine the performance.

A phenolic compound). The polyaniline complex and the phenolic compound are dissolved in an organic solvent.

Here, the sum (a) of the doping rates of the organic acid and the inorganic acid in the polyaniline complex is 0.4 <a <0.6. The sum (a) of the doping ratio of organic acid and inorganic acid in the polyaniline complex is 0.5, which means that one molecule of dopant is doped with respect to two molecules of nitrogen, and this value and the vicinity thereof. , The conductivity is the highest.

The ratio of the doping of the organic acid and the inorganic acid is such that the ratio (b / a) of the doping ratio (b) of the inorganic acid is 0.02 or more in the total doping ratio (a), preferably organic acid: inorganic The acid is 0.98: 0.02 to 0.90: 0.1.

Here, when the total dope ratio of the organic acid and the inorganic acid is 0.6 or more, the intrinsic conductivity of the conductive composition obtained in the present invention tends to decrease. On the other hand, if it is 0.4 or less, it becomes insoluble in various solvents, resulting in a significant loss of workability such as coating of a substrate.
Further, in order to obtain a conductive composition having a high conductivity, the doping rate of the inorganic acid plays a very important role, and a total doping rate of 0.02 or more is necessary.

In some applications, moldability is often more important than electrical conductivity, and the molecular weight distribution is preferably in the range of 5.0 to 10.0 from the viewpoint of industrial usefulness. Here, when the molecular weight distribution is less than 5.0, the strength and stretchability of the conductive article obtained from the composition tend to decrease. On the other hand, when the molecular weight distribution exceeds 10.0, in most cases, the ultra high molecular weight is obtained. It is a composition containing a component, and in such a composition, there exists a tendency for the solubility to a solvent to fall.
