Abstract: The polymerisation of aniline was conducted in carbonated water in the presence of ammonium persulphate (APS) as an oxidizer. Infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy was used to confirm the chemical structure of polyaniline (PANI) thus prepared in carbonated water, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that PANI possessed nanofibrous morphology. It is believed that the environment provided by carbonated water for the polymerisation of aniline resulted in the formation of nano-fibres. The electrical conductivity of PANIs thus prepared was in the range of 10-4 S/m.
