Abstract

Highly conducting polyaniline is produced in situ in a tantalum capacitor by subjecting an excess of monomeric aniline to a solution having a low concentration of ammonium persulfate reagent. The monomer is oxidized by the reagent in preference to the polymer, so that the presence of excess monomer protects the polymer as it is produced against further oxidation to a less conductive species.
