Publication year: 2011 Source: Synthetic Metals, Available online 25 September 2011 Louis R. Nemzer, Arthur J. Epstein The ion-induced reprecipitation of the emeraldine base form of polyaniline from an aqueous-organic binary solution is a facile method for obtaining polymer nanoparticles and microscale clusters. The hydrophobic collapse and aggregation that accompanies the addition of various cosolutes induces changes in the peak wavelength and linewidth of the main exciton absorption
