Abstract. Polyanilinefurfural (PAF) has been prepared. Its chain contains aromatic and furan rings, but the backbone is nonconjugated. However, when treatment with iodine, the color of PAF turns metallic black, and PAF becomes electrically conductive. The electrical conductivity of I2-doped PAF can reach 10−3 S ⋅ cm−1 which is more than 10 orders of magnitude higher than what was observed at the pristine state. The effects of iodine content on the conductivity of PAF and the conductivity stability were investigated. FTIR spectra, U.v./vis absorption spectra, E.s.r. measurement and X.p.s. measurement of the undoped and doped PAF were studied. This paper will demonstrate that: if given appropriate substituents and dopants, significant charge transfer may be expected even for nonconjugated polymers and it may display electronic conductivity to a certain level.
