Aniline sulfide resin (ASR) is synthesized by the reaction of aniline and sulfide dichloride. Crosslinked ASR (ASC) has been prepared in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulfate and aniline in aqueous solution as oxidant and monomer, respectively. By changing the ratio of ASR to aniline during the polymerization reaction, it is possible to control the number of crosslinked sites, electrical conductivity, molecular weight and solubility. Electropolymerization was carried out by coating ASR on the surface of glassy carbon disk electrode, and then grown on a graft copolymer ASC in the presence of fresh aniline and acidic solution. Electrical conductivity of ASC has been studied by four-point probe method and produced 8.5 × 10−3 S cm–1 conductivity for it.
