Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Conductive Polyaniline?
A: The CAS number for emeraldine salt-type conductive polyaniline (HCl-doped) is 9002-97-1. Note: Exact CAS may vary slightly depending on dopant and synthesis route; confirm with batch-specific CoA.
Q2: What is the typical loading level required to achieve percolation conductivity in polymer composites?
A: Percolation threshold typically ranges from 1.5–5.0 wt% in thermoplastics (e.g., ABS, PC) and 0.8–3.0 wt% in thermosets (e.g., epoxy), depending on dispersion quality and matrix polarity.
Q3: How does Conductive Polyaniline compare to carbon black or metallic fillers in EMI shielding applications?
A: Polyaniline offers lower density, better corrosion resistance, and halogen-free conduction vs. metal fillers, while providing broader frequency-range absorption than carbon black—though absolute shielding effectiveness (SE) is generally lower than silver-coated particles at equivalent loadings.
Q4: Is Conductive Polyaniline subject to migration or leaching in humid or aqueous environments?
A: Undoped polyaniline exhibits low water solubility, but acid-doped forms may undergo partial dedoping and ion leaching above pH 4. For wet-end applications, crosslinking or encapsulation (e.g., silica shell) is recommended to minimize extractables.
Q5: Does this material comply with FDA or EU food-contact regulations?
A: Standard Conductive Polyaniline is not approved for direct food contact under FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation (EC) No 10/2011. It may be used in non-migrating, barrier-layer configurations only after full application-specific migration testing and regulatory review.
