ABSTRACT
424The subject of a brief review is the modification of large-scale (films, sheets, tapes, threads, fibers, etc.) non-conductive material substrates of different polymeric nature by polyaniline layer and also obtaining of homogeneous polyaniline/polymeric composites. The methods of preparation of non-conductive polymeric substrates and also the basic techniques of applying of the polyaniline layers or films on such substrates, namely the technique from the solution in situ, from the gaseous phase, by polymerization method in plasma, by forming polyaniline films on the surface of polymeric substrates from its solutions and suspensions, by preparation of polyaniline/polymeric composites using the methods of co-dissolving, and by making melts as well as by combined methods were discussed. The basic stages of the processes have been analyzed, the physico-chemical properties and morphology of the obtained composites in each case were considered, the examples of composite materials based on polyaniline and non-conducting massive polymers of natural, artificial, and synthetic origin have been demonstrated. It is shown that due to their physical and chemical properties, such materials are promising for applications as sensitive sensory materials, anticorrosive, antistatic, electrostatic coating materials for shielding of electromagnetic waves, elements of organic optoelectronic devices, diaphragms, artificial muscles, electroconductive fabrics, biologically active substrates, etc.
