Polyaniline is a conjugated polymer that can be reversibly doped and undoped using common acids and bases. In the doped state, polyaniline is thermally and environmentally stable and electrically conducting. Polyaniline has shown promise as a gas separation membrane, however, it is limited by poor thermal processability and solvent solubility. The solvent solubility is increased for ethyl and methoxy substituted polyaniline. The smooth free-standing membranes cast from these substituted polymers exhibit an increase in gas permeability compared to the base form of polyaniline, but a decrease in selectivity.
