摘要：This study presents a novel method for the oxidative polymerization of aniline (ANI) by employing fullerene C60/cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots, as promoting agent of the polymerization system. The polymerization initiation mechanism is based on the difference between the HOMO-LUMO energy levels of the components which permits the formation of a continuous donor-acceptor exchange. Both the polymerization reaction evolution and the molecular weights of the obtained polymers have been characterized. The novelty of the paper consists in the synthesis of a novel nano-composite material through a novel polymerization technique. The resulting material containing PANI, CdSe quantum dots and C60 has been characterized by UV-Vis, NIR, fluorescence, TEM and GPC analyses.
