Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(aniline-co-D-cycloserine)

Poly(aniline-co-D-cycloserine) was prepared by electrochemical and chemical oxidative polymerization. The copolymer thin films of aniline-cycloserine were synthesized by using cyclic voltammetric technique in an aqueous sulfuric acid on the Glassy carbon electrode. The copolymer formation, the electrochemical behavior and the structure were examined. The analogous copolymers were prepared via a chemical oxidative polymerization in 1M HCl in the presence of Potassium persulfate as an oxidant. The structure of the copolymer was studied by IR, 1H NMR and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and the surface morphology was studied by SEM.
