Abstract

The enzyme horseradish peroxidase has been recently used for the polymerization of water-soluble conductive polyaniline. Hematin, an ironporphyrin molecule that catalyzes the oxidative polymerization of aniline and phenol, is a robust and inexpensive biomimetic alternative to horseradish peroxidase. Composite thin film assemblies were fabricated by electrostatic layer-by-layer (ELBL) alternate deposition of a polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethyl diallylammonium chloride), and hematin. These multilayer assemblies were then used for the polymerization of aniline in the presence of a polystyrene sulfonate as a template. It was found that the polymerization rate depends on both pH and the concentration of hematin deposited and the polyaniline synthesis was possible both onto the ELBL surfaces and in solution. It was also discovered that it is possible to reuse the ELBL assembled hematin substrates for multiple aniline polymerizations.
