AbstractConducting polymers and hydrogels are two classes of polymers that currently receive an increasing attention in the field of biomaterials, particularly for their application in the assembly of artificial muscles. In this paper we present the development of Polyacrylamide (PAAM) microfibers and polyaniline (PANI) - poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) conductive gel membrane.The fabricated PAAM microfibers have diameters between 1 and 12μm depending on the preparation parameters. These microfibers respond instantaneously to 100mV electrical stimulation, which solves the problem of time response of the hydrogels. On the other hand, we showed that the inclusion of conducting chains within a crosslinked gel matrix allows combining the conductivity of the PANI with the mechanical flexibility of PVA in order to provide flexible gel membranes that can adhere to the PAAM microfibers to ensure their electrical stimulation.

Poly(2-bromoaniline) was prepared by oxidation of 2-bromoaniline with ammonium peroxydisulfate in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The conductivity of the poly(2-bromoaniline) hydrochloride so produced was 10-6 S cm-1, its density at 20 °C 1.78 g cm-3 and weight-average molar mass 18 500 g mol-1. The degree of protonation was estimated as being a half of that of polyaniline. The structure of poly(2-bromoaniline) is discussed on the basis of FTIR spectra. Colloidal dispersions were produced when the polymerization had been carried out in the presence of a particulate or polymeric stabilizer, viz. colloidal silica, poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) or (hydroxypropyl)cellulose. The UV-VIS spectra of colloidal dispersions are used to discuss the transition between the protonated and base forms.
