The kinetics and morphology of polyaniline film prepared by using ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant and dodecylbenzoyl sulfonic acid (DBSA) as both emulsifier and dopant were studied in this paper. The kinetics of the formation of polyaniline film was determined by using the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and the film morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The reaction exhibited half-order kinetics with respect to APS concentration and first-order kinetics with respect to aniline concentration. The activation energy is 41.15 kJ/mol, and the growth rate of PANI film increased with increasing temperature and decreased with increasing concentration of DBSA.
