Polyaniline (PANI) doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) was synthesized by emulsion polymerization using FeCl3/ammonium persulfate (APS) as composite oxidant. The effects of different magnetic field (MF) intensities, the molar ratios of FeCl3/APS, and the concentrations of DBSA on the film growth rate of PANI were analyzed by using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. The film growth rate of PANI increased with increasing MF intensity and the concentration of DBSA. However, the film growth rate of PANI decreased with increasing molar ratio of FeCl3/APS. The polymerization conditions were optimized tentatively by cyclic voltammetry (CV) testing. The peak currents and conductivity were the largest for PANI prepared under the following conditions: MF intensity 0.4 T, molar ratio of FeCl3/APS 2:1, and concentration of DBSA 0.05 mol/L. The UV-Vis spectra of the PANI polymerization showed that the absorption intensity of PANI polymerized in the presence of MF was greater than that of PANI polymerized in the absence of MF, at the same reaction time.
