Chemical Synthesis and Characterization of Conducting Poly(2-Aminothiazole)

Abstract:

In this work, poly(2-aminothiazole) (P2AT) was synthesized by chemical oxidation method using 2-aminothiazole as the monomer. The polymerization was initiated using three different oxidants, CuCl2, FeCl3 and (NH4)2S2O8. The results suggested that the monomer was easily polymerized and higher yields were achieved when CuCl2 was used as the oxidant. The effects of reaction time and polymerization temperature on the yield of polymerization using CuCl2 were investigated. The polymerization yield of the P2ATs was 25.2 % at oxidant/monomer molar ratio of 0.1 for 24 h in the copper chloride /deionized water. The P2ATs were characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
