Abstract—The effect of the physical characteristics of a solvent on the structure and properties of polyaniline
obtained by chemically induced polymerization was studied. It is shown that use of the solvents having different
nature, polarity, and mechanism of interaction with polymer allows one to vary the macromolecular packing
density, degree of crystallinity, and conductivity of polyaniline.
