Head-to-Tail and Head-to-Head Molecular Chains of Poly(-Anisidine): Combined Experimental and Theoretical Evaluation.

Poly(-anisidine) (PPA) is a polyaniline derivative presenting a methoxy (-OCH) group at the position of the phenyl ring. Considering the important role of conjugated polymers in novel technological applications, a systematic, combined experimental and theoretical investigation was performed to obtain more insight into the crystallization process of PPA. Conventional oxidative polymerization of -anisidine monomer was based on a central composite rotational design (CCRD).
