Polyaniline composites consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) have enhanced adsorption properties, but recent studies indicate that the oxidised species - dialdehyde carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) - outperforms CMC-based composites. However, these studies fail to study the effect of DCMC's aldehyde content and compare the composites with CMC-based composites; numerous experiments required to investigate each adsorbent for each factor limit such studies. We explored a way to study whether villi-structured polyaniline (VSPANI), its CMC composite (CMC/PANI), and its DCMC composites with 35% (DCMC(A)/PANI) and 77% (DCMC(B)/PANI) aldehyde content would be great adsorbents for removing bisphenol-A (BPA).

Analytical processes involving sample preparation, separation, and quantifying analytes in complex mixtures are indispensable in modern-day analysis. Each step is crucial to enriching correct and informative results. Therefore, sample preparation is the critical factor that determines both the accuracy and the time consumption of a sample analysis process.
