Organic polymer, conducting organic polymer, production methods and uses of the same

Abstract: This invention relates to an organic polymer having, as the main repeating unit, the compound represented by the general formula: (wherein, m and n respectively show the molar fraction of quinonediimine structure unit and phenylenediamine structure unit in the repeating unit, and 0 < m < 1, 0 < n < 1, and m + n = 1.), and soluble in an organic solvent in an undoped state, and having the intrinsic viscocity [η] of more than 0.4 dl/g measured in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at 30°C, and a conducting organic polymer formed by doping a protonic acid to such a polymer.

Description: This invention relates to an organic block copolymer-like polymer, an electrically conducting organic polymer, methods for producing same and their uses. US-A-4615829 discloses a method for producing an electrically conducting organic polymer containing an electrolytic ion as a dopant, and having an electric conductivity of more than 10⁻⁶ S/cm by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline with a chemical oxidizing agent. JP-A-258831/1986 describes that in the production of a conducting organic polymer by use of such a chemical oxidative polymerization, an oxidizing agent having the standard electrode potential determined as an electromotive force in the reduction half cell reaction making the standard hydrogen electrode as a standard of more than 0.6 V is preferably used. However, since the conducting organic polymer is generally insoluble and infusible, it cannot be formed into a film, and hence, there is a large hindrance for applications of the conducting organic polymer. As described in JP-A-235831/1985 and J. Polymer Sci., Polymer Chem. Ed., 26, 1531 (1988), although a film on the conducting organic polymer can be formed on the electrode, since the film formation surface is limited to the surface of the electrode, it is difficult to obtain a film having a large area, and moreover, since the production is effected by electrolytic oxidation, the production costs are high. Moreover, this film has a small strength and is insoluble and infusible. Therefore, various conversion methods have been proposed, in which an intermediate product soluble in an organic solvent is produced, and after casting the solution into a film the intermediate product is changed to a conducting polymer by a physical or chemical means. However, according to this method, treatment at a high temperature is required, or it is possible that the change from the intermediate polymer to a conducting polymer does not necessarily proceed as shown theoretically, so that the method is not practical as a production method of the conducting organic polymer film having regard to the production side and the side of the physical properties of the film obtained. In the field of polypyrrole or polythiophene, a polymer soluble in an organic solvent is known. The thiophene having a long chain alkyl group as a substituent and the pyrrole having the alkane sulphonic acid group as a substituent were subjected to an electrochemical oxidative polymerisation in order to obtain poly-3-alkyl thiophene soluble in an organic solvent and polypyrrolealkane sulphonic acid soluble in water, respectively. Films of any of these polymers can be obtained from their solutions by casting. However, this method uses a special monomer in either case, and additionally necessitates an electrochemical oxidative polymerization so that the production costs are extremely high. On the other hand, in the field of chemical oxidative polymerisation of aniline, it is known that a polyaniline soluble in an organic solvent can be obtained by applying about 1/4 amount of ammonium peroxodisulphate as an oxidizing agent to aniline, in order to subject aniline to a chemical oxidative polymerization. ( A.G. MacDiarmid et al., Synthetic Metals, 21, 21 (1987); A. G. Macdiarmid et al., L.Alcacer (ed.), Conducting Polymers, 105-120, D.Reidel Publishing Co., 1987)). However, this polymer is not only soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and dimethyl sulphoxide, but also in 80% acetic acid and 60% formic acid aqueous solution, and its molecular weight is low. It is also described that a free-standing film can he obtained from the solutions of the polymer in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and dimethyl sulphoxide. Further, it is described that a conducting polymer film doped with acetic acid can be obtained from an acetic acid solution, and this is made as a film undoped with ammonia. However, since the film of this undoped state has a low molecular weight of polyaniline, its strength is low, and it is easily broken by bending, it is hardly suitable for practical use. It is also known that polyaniline soluble in tetrahydrofuran can be obtained by oxidizing aniline with ammonium peroxodisulphate (J. Tang et al., Synthetic Metals, 24, 231 (1988). However, this polymer is considered to have a low molecular weight since it dissolves in tetrahydrofuran. FR-A-2554822 discloses an electroconductive organic polymer containing an electron acceptor as a dopant and having an electroconductivity of not less than 10⁻⁶ S/cm consisting essentially of a linear polymer having as a main repeating unit thereof a quinonediimine structure. It is the object of the present invention to provide a high-molecular-weight organic polymer by the chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline, which is soluble in various organic solvents, and which can be easily cast into a strong and flexible film with a high tensile strength. Said object is achieved by an organic block copolymer-like polymer having a main repeating unit represented by the general formula (I) wherein m and n, respectively, show the molar fraction of the quinonediimine structural unit and the phenylenediamine structural unit in the repeating unit, and 0<m<1, 0<n<1 and m+1=1, wherein said polymer has an intrinsic viscosity (η) of more than 0.4 dl/g measured in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at 30°C, and wherein the Raman line intensity ratio of said polymer, Ia/Ib,is greater than 1,0, wherein Ia represents the Raman line intensity of the ring stretching vibration appearing at the wave number higher than 1600 cm⁻¹ and Ib represents the Raman line intensity of the ring stretching vibration appearing at the wave number lower than 1600 cm⁻¹ in the ring stretching vibration of para-substituted benzene in the laser Raman spectrum obtained by excitation with light of a wavelength of 457,9 nm, as well as an electrically conducting organic polymer formed by doping said organic block copolymer-like polymer with a protonic acid having a dissociation constant value pKa of less than 4.8. The organic block copolymer-like polymer is produced according to the method of claim 4. Aniline is preserved in a solvent while keeping the temperature at less then 5°C, preferably at less than 0°C, in the presence of a protonic acid having an acid dissociation constant value pKa of less than 3.0, and gradually adding an aqueous solution of an oxidizing agent having a standard electrode potential of more than 0.6 V, which is determined as an electromotive force in the reduction half cell reaction standardised with a standard hydrogen electrode, for more than two equivalents, preferably 2 to 2.5 equivalents, of the equivalent defined as the amount obtained by dividing one mol of the oxidizing agent by the number of electrons required for reducing one molecule of the oxidizing agent to form an oxidized polymer of aniline doped with the above-described protonic acid, and subsequently, undoping this polymer with a basic substance. As the above-described oxidizing agent manganese dioxide, ammonium peroxodisulfate, hydrogen peroxide, ferric salts and iodic acid salts are preferred. For example, if ammonium peroxodisulfate or hydrogen peroxide are used, two electrons participate per one molecule in both cases, so that generally an amount in the range of 1 to 1.25 mol is used. The protonic acid used in the oxidative polymerization of aniline is not especially limited as long as the acid dissociation constant value pKa is less than 3.0. For example, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, hydrofluoroboric acid, hydrofluorophosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid or hydroiodic acid, aromatic sulfonic acids such as benzenesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid, alkane sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid or ethanesulfonic acid, phenols such as picric acid, aromatic carboxylic acids such as m-nitrobenzoic acid, aliphatic carboxylic acids such as dichloroacetic acid or malonic acid, can be used. Further, polymer acids can also be used, such as for example, polystyrene sulfonic acid, polyvinyl sulfonic acid, polyallyl sulfonic acid or polyvinyl sulfuric acid. The amount of the protonic acid used depends on the reaction mode of the oxidizing agent used. For example, in the case of manganese dioxide, the oxidation reaction of which is Mn0₂ + 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ → Mn²⁺ + 2H₂0, it is necessary to use a protonic acid capable of supplying protons of at least 4 times the mol amount of the manganese dioxide used. Also in the case of hydrogen peroxide the oxidation reaction of which is H₂0₂ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → 2H₂0, it is necessary to use a protonic acid capable of supplying protons of at least two times the mol amount of the hydrogen peroxide used. On the other hand, in the case or ammonium peroxodisulfate, the oxidation reaction of which is S₂0₈²⁻ + 2e⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ it is not necessary to use a specific protonic acid. However, in the present invention, it is preferable to use a protonic acid in an equal mol amount as the oxidizing agent. The solvent for use in the oxidative polymerization of aniline is one which dissolves aniline, the protonic acid, and the oxidizing agent and which is not oxidized by the oxidizing agent. Water is most preferably used, but alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, nitriles such as acetonitrile, polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or dimethyl sulphoxide, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, organic acids such as acetic acid, can also be used. Also a mixed solvent of these organic solvents with water can be used. It is important in the method for obtaining the organic block copolymer-like polymer according to the present invention, especially while the solution of the oxidizing agent is added to the aniline solution, to preserve the temperature of the reaction mixture always below 5°C. Therefore, it is required that the solution of the oxidizing agent is gradually added to aniline lest the temperature of the reaction mixture exceeds 5°C. When the oxidizing agent is added rapidly, the temperature of the reaction mixture rises, even if it is cooled from the outside, to form a polymer having a low molecular weight, or to form a solvent insoluble oxidative polymer after the undoping as described in the following. In particular, in the present invention, it is preferable, to keep the reaction temperature below 0°C, in order to obtain a solvent soluble aniline oxidative polymer of a molecular weight having an intrinsic viscosity [η] of more than 1.0 dl/g measured at 30°C in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (to be referred to in the same way in the following). Thus, the oxidative polymer of aniline doped with the protonic acid can be obtained. Since the oxidative polymer of aniline forms a salt with the protonic acid in the doped state, in a similar manner as in other conducting organic polymers in the doped state, it is in general insoluble in those solvents as described in the following. For example, it is well known that salts of high molecular weight amines are in general difficulty soluble in an organic solvent. However, the conducting organic polymer according to the present invention has two important characteristics in comparison with other conducting organic polymers. Firstly, the conducting organic polymer according to the present invention does not form a precipitate, and stably dissolves in an aprotic polar organic solvent depending on the kind of protonic acid as the dopant, if the concentration is less than several % by weight. In general, at a concentration of less than 5% by weight, a solution of the conducting organic polymer of such a doping state in an organic solvent can be obtained. As the above-described organic solvent, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is preferable. The solution of the conducting organic polymer in the doped state as described above can readily form a thin film of conducting organic polymer on a substrate when the organic solvent is removed therefrom after coating it on a suitable substrate. Secondly, an aniline oxidative polymer soluble in an organic solvent can be obtained from the conducting organic polymer doped with the above-described protonic acid and insoluble in an organic solvent, by undoping this. With respect the first feature, preferably protonic acids are hydrofluoroboric acid, hydrofluorophosphoric acid, perchloric acid, and organic acids having an acid dissociation constant pKa value of less than 4.8. When the protonic acid is a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, the polymers doped with these acids are difficultly dissolved in an organic solvent. The organic acids having the above-described acid dissociation constant pKa value of less than 4.8 are mono- or polybasic acids having for example an aliphatic group, aromatic group, aromatic aliphatic group or alicyclic group. Further, the organic acids may have a hydroxyl group, halogen atom, nitro group, cyano group or amino group. Examples of such organic acids are acetic acid, n-butyric acid, pentadecafluorooctanoic acid, pentafluoroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, monofluoroacatic acid, monobromoacetic acid, monochloroacetic acid, cyanoacetic acid, acetylacetic acid, nitroacetic acid, triphenylacetic acid, formic acid, oxalic acid, benzoic acid, m-bromobenzoic acid, p-chlorohenzoic acid, m-chlorobenzoic acid, o-nitrobenzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, picric acid, o-chlorobenzoic acid, p-nitrobenzoic acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid, trimethylbenzoic acid, p-cyanobenzoic acid, m-cyanobenzoic acid, thymol blue, salicylic acid, 5-aminosalicylic acid, o-methoxybenzoic acid 1,6-dinitro-4-chlorophenol, 2,6-dinitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, p-oxybenzoic acid, bromophenol blue, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, α-alanine, β-alanine, glycine, glycolic acid, thioglycolic acid, ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid and ethylenediammine-N,N,N',N'- tetraacetic acid. The organic acid may also have a sulfonic acid or sulfuric acid group. Examples of such organic acids are aminonaphtholsulfonic acid, metanilic acid, sulfanilic acid, allylsulfonic acid, laurylsulfuric acid, xylenesulfonic acid, chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, 1-propanesulfonic acid, 1- butanesulfonic acid, 1-hexanesulfonic acid, 1-heptanesulfonic acid, 1-octanesulfonic acid, 1-nonanesulfonic acid, 1-decanesulfonic acid, 1-dodecanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and naphthalenesulfonic acid. Further, the organic acid may be a polymer acid. Examples for such polymer acids are polyvinylsulfonic acid, polyvinylsulfuric acid, polystyrenesulfonic acid, sulfonated styrene-butadiene copolymer, polyallylsulfonic acid, polymethallylsulfonic acid, poly-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and polyhalogenized acrylic acid. A fluorine-containing polymer known as Nafione (registered trademark of Du Pont Co., U.S.A.) is preferably used as polymer acid. The conducting organic polymer doped with a polymer acid has different solubility in dependence on the molecular weight of the polymer acid. Usually, the use of a polymer acid having a small molecular weight results in a conducting organic polymer of the doped state having a high solubility. Further, the solution of the conducting organic polymer as described above can be diluted with other organic solvents, if necessary. For example by adding a diluting agent to a solution in the order of about 2% by weight, a diluted solution can be advantageously prepared. As diluting agents those having a mutual solubility with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are preferable, and examples of such diluting agents are alcohols, ketones, esters, ethers, nitriles or other nitrogen-containing organic solvents. In particular, alcohols with aliphatic groups such as methanol, ethanol, propyl alcohol or butyl alcohol, are preferable as diluting agents. Glycols such as ethylene glycol can also-be preferably used. Acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran are also preferable diluting agents. Dependent on the extent of dilution, a hydrocarbon solvent such as, for example, n-hexane having no mutual solubility with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone can also be used as diluting agent. Further, it is also possible to dissolve a hydrocarbon such as naphthalene which is solid at room temperature in the solution of the conducting organic polymer, if necessary. As described above, when the protonic acid is a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, the polymers doped with these acids are difficultly dissolved in an organic solvent. However, even in the case when the polymer solution has been added, for example, to a diluting solvent containing sulfuric acid, and the polymer has been precipitated, a uniform mixture in the micro-suspension state can be obtained by subjecting the mixture containing the precipitate to ultrasonic wave stirring. Such a mixture can form a conducting polymer thin film on a substrate, similarly as in the case of the solution, by coating it on a substrate and removing the solvent. Regarding the above-described second feature, since the undoping of the polymer doped with a protonic acid is a kind of neutralization reaction, it is not especially limitted, when it is a basic substance capable or neutralizing the protonic acid as a dopant, but aqueous ammonia, and metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide are preferably used. For the undoping, it will be sufficient that the basic substance is directly added to the reaction mixture after the above-described oxidative polymerization of aniline, or the basic substance may be applied after the polymer has been separated. Although the polymer in the doped state, which has been obtained by the oxidative polymerisation of aniline has in general a conductivity or more than 10⁻⁶ S/cm and is colored in blackish green, it has a copper color mixed with violet, or faintly mixed with a violet color after doping. This change in color is due to the change of the amine nitrogen in the salt structure of the polymer into free amine. The conductivity of this undoped polymer is in general in the order of 10⁻¹⁰ S/cm. The thus obtained aniline oxidative polymer in the undoped state has a high molecular weight, and moreover, is soluble in various organic solvents. Examples for such solvents are N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone and sulfolan. Although the solubility depends on the average molecular weight of the polymer and the solvent, 0.5 to 100% of the polymer dissolves in the solvent and a solution of 1 to 30% by weight can be obtained. In particular, the aniline oxidative polymer in the undoped state according to the present invention shows a high solubility in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and in general 20 to 100% of the polymer dissolves to obtain a solution of 3 to 30% by weight. It, however, does not dissolve in tetrahydrofuran, 80% acetic acid aqueous solution, 60% formic acid aqueous solution or acetonitrile. Therefore, according to the present invention, such a polymer soluble in a solvent can be made into a film by dissolving it in a solvent and forming it into a film by the casting method. For example, a uniform and strong free-standing film having excellent flexibility can be obtained by a process wherein after casting the polymer solution on a glass plate to form a film, the film obtained is heated and dried to remove the solvent. In order to obtain a strong film having excellent flexibility, it is desirable to use the above-described solvent soluble polymer having an intrinsic-viscosity [η] of more than 0.40 dl/g. Further, the film obtained by casting the above-described solvent soluble aniline oxidative polymer has different properties depending on the conditions of drying the solvent. In general, in the case of casting a N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solution of the soluble polymer having an intrinsic viscocity [η] of more than 0.40 dl/g on a glass plate and drying the solvent at a drying temperature of less than 100°C, the strength of the film obtained is not sufficiently large, and also, it partly dissolves in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. However, when the drying temperature is higher than 130°C, the obtained film has an excellent flexibility and is very strung, i.e. is not broken even by bending. The film obtained in such a manner does not dissolve in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and furthermore, does not dissolve in concentrated sulfuric acid. The solvent insolubility of the polymer caused by the solvent drying at a high temperature after casting is considered to be due to the cross-linking of the polymer chains by the coupling radicals present in the polymer, or formed in heating. The above-described soluble aniline oxydative polymer can be considered, from the results of measurements such as the elementary analysis, infrared absorption spectrum, ESR spectrum, laser Raman spectrum, thermogravimetric analysis, solubility in solvents, and visual or near infrared ray absorption spectrum, as a polymer having a main repeating unit, represented by the general formula (I): wherein, m and n, respectively, show the molar fraction of the quinonediime structural unit and the phenylenediamine structural unit in the repeating unit, and 0 < m < 1, 0 < n < 1, and m + n = 1 wherein said polymer is soluble in an organic solvent in the undoped state and has an intrinsic viscosity [η] of more than 0.4 dl/g measured in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at 30°C. The film obtained by making the above-described solvent soluble polymer insoluble in a solvent by the casting method shows an infrared ray absorption spectrum which is substantially the same as that of the solvent soluble polymer, and which can be considered to have a cross-linked structure but to consist of substantially the same repeating units as shown from the results of measurements from elementary analysis, infrared absorption spectrum, ESR spectrum, laser Raman spectrum, thermogravimetric analysis, solubility in a solvent and visible or near infrared spectrum. In the organic block copolymer-like polymer of the invention the values m and n can be adjusted by oxidizing or reducing the polymer. By reducing the polymer m is decreased and n is increased. On the contrary, by oxidizing the polymer m is increased and n is decreased. When the quinonediimine structural unit in the polymer is decreased, the solubility of the polymer in the solvent is enhanced. Also, in comparison with the state before reduction, the viscosity of the solution is lowered. In order to reduce such a solvent soluble polymer, hydrazines such as hydrazine hydrate or phenyl hydrazine, metal hydrides such as lithium alumiuium hydride or lithium borohydride, and hydrogen are preferably used. Phenyl hydrazine is most preferably used because it dissolves in an organic solvent, and in particular, in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, but does not reduce N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. On the other hand, the oxidizing agent used in order to oxidize the solvent-soluble polymer may be any of the ones capable of oxidizing the phenylenediamine structural unit in the general formula, but an oxidizing agent having a standard electrode potential of more than 0.3 V determined as the electromotive power in the reduction half cell reaction standardised on the standard hydrogen electrode is especially preferably used. For example, silver oxide as a mild oxidizing agent is preferably used. Blowing in of oxygen is also useful. As a powerful oxidizing agent, potassium permanganate or potassium dichromate, can also be used, as long as they do not deteriorate the polymer. As described above, since the partial reduction of the solvent-soluble polymer decreases the viscosity of the polymer solution, it is useful to preserve the solution of the solvent-soluble polymer stable in the above-described doped state. A basic substance such as triethyl amine is also useful for relaxing the interaction between the protonic acid and polymer to preserve the stable solution state. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible, by adding the above-described reducing agent and a basic substance as additives to the solution containing the conducting organic polymer of the doped state and a protonic acid to preserve the above-described solution stable. When the solution of the conducting organic polymer containing a reducing agent and a basic substance together with a protonic acid is coated on a substrate, a layer of conducting organic polymer doped with protonic acid is formed on the substrate since the reducing agent and the basic substance are evaporated during the removal of the solvent. Although excess protonic acid remains on the substrate, it can be removed by washing with water, if necessary. According to the present invention the solution containing the conducting organic polymer of the doped state and a protonic acid may include various resins as a binder or an increasing agent. The resin used as a binder is not especially limited, as long as it is capable of dissolving in a solvent. When an excess amount of an reducing agent has been used in the reduction of the above-described polymer, only a small amount of semiquinone radicals (polaron structure) due to the doping of the protonic acid to the quinonediimine structural units is formed since many quinonediimine structural units in the polymer are reduced and therefore the conductivity of conducting organic polymer obtained is not so high at the moment immediately after the doping. However, by leaving the doped polymer stand in air, the reduced phenylenediamine structural units gradually return back to the quinonediimine structural units, and form semiquinone radicals by being doped with the residual protonic acid in the polymer layer, so that an organic polymer of high conductivity can be obtained. The surface resistance of the conducting organic polymer thin film is in general in the order of 10⁵ to 10¹⁰ Ω , although it varies depending on the protonic acid used. In the following an explanation will be given on the feature of the organic polymer according to the present invention obtained from the laser Raman spectrum, by comparing it with that of the so-called polyaniline hitherto known. As a means for obtaining information relating to the vibration between atoms constituting a substance, there is known the vibration spectroscopy, which includes the infrared spectoscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The infrared spectroscopy is active in the vibrational mode for causing a change of the dipole moment, and the Raman spectroscopy is active in the vibration causing a change of the polarizability. Therefore, both spectroscopies are in complementary relationship, and in general, the vibrational mode appearing strongly in the infrared spectroscopy appears weak in the Raman spectroscopy, and on the other hand, the vibrational mode appearing strong in the Raman spectroscopy, appears weak in the infrared spectroscopy. The infrared absorption spectrum is obtained by detecting the energy absorption between the vibration energy levels, and the Raman spectrum is obtained by detecting the scattering light (Raman scattering) generated in dropping to a higher vibrational energy level or the ground state after the molecule has been excited with irradiation of light. At this time, the vibrational energy level can be taken from the energy difference of the scattering light for the irradiated light. In general, the Raman spectrum is obtained by visible light excitation from an argon laser, or the like. It is known that a very strong Raman line is obtained, for a sample having an absorption band in the visible region, when the irradiating laser beam and the absorption band match and the phenomenon is called the resonance Raman effect. According to this effect, Raman lines 10⁴ to 10⁵ times stronger than the usual Raman lines are obtained. By means of such a resonance Raman effect, the information of the chemical structure part excited by the wavelength of the irradiating laser beam is obtained more emphasized. Therefore, by measuring the Raman spectrum while changing the wavelength of the laser beam the chemical structure of the sample can be more exactly analyzed. The above described feature is a feature of the Raman spectroscopy, which cannot be found in the infrared spectroscopy. Fig.1 shows the laser Raman spectrum obtained by irradiation at the exciting wavelength of 457.9nm of a sample formed in a disk-like shape of the powder of the polyaniline in the undoped state, which is soluble in an organic solvent, and has an intrinsic viscocity [η] of 1.2 dl/g measured at 30°C in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The assignment of the Raman lines are as follows: The lines 1622 and 1591 cm⁻¹ are assigned to the ring stretching vibration of para-substituted benzene, lines 1489 and 1479 cm⁻¹ to the stretching vibration of C=C and C=N of the quinonediimine structure, line 1220 cm⁻¹ is the mixed existence of C-N stretching vibration and C-C stretching vibration, and lines 1185 and 1165 cm⁻¹ are the in-plane bending vibration of C-H. Fig.2 shows the laser Raman spectrum obtained by irradiating at an exciting wavelength of 457.9 nm of a polyaniline in the undoped state shown by Y.Furukawa et al., Synth. Met., 16, 189, (1986). This polyaniline was obtained by electrochemical oxidative polymerization of aniline on a platinum electrode. As can be seen in Fig.1, in the polyaniline in the solvent soluble undoped state according to the present invention, the ratio Ia/Ib of the Raman line strength Ia of the ring stretching vibration appearing at the wave number higher than 1600 cm⁻¹ and the Raman line strength Ib of the ring stretching vibration appearing at the wave number lower than 1600 cm⁻¹ is more than 1.0. In contrast thereto the hitherto known polyanilines including the polyaniline shown in Fig.2 and one made by chemical oxidative polymerization, all have a ratio Ia/Ib of smaller than 1.0. Both Raman lines of 1622 and 1591 cm⁻¹ are based on the ring stretching vibration of para-substituted benzene. Since the polyaniline in the reduced state has no quinonediimine structure, the Raman line appears at 1621 cm⁻¹ only, but in the polyaniline in the undoped state having the quinone diimine structure, Raman lines appear at 1622 and 1591 cm⁻¹ as described above. These Raman lines show the exciting wavelength dependency as shown in Fig.3. In accordance with a change of the exciting wavelength to the short wave side such as from 488.0 nm via 476.5 nm to 457.9 nm, the ratio Ia/Ib changes. That is, at 488.0 nm, the ratio Ia/Ib is less than 1.0, but at 457.9 nm, it is more than 1.0, and the strength of Ia/Ib is reversed. This reverse phenomenon can be explained as follows. Fig.4 shows the electronic spectrum of the solvent soluble polyaniline according to the present invention. Since the peak at 647 nm vanishes by reducing the polyaniline, it seems to be derived from the quinonediimine structure, and the peak at 334 nm seems to be derived from the π - π* transition of para-substituted benzene. Fig.4 also shows the above-described Raman exciting wavelength. As regards the band of the ring stretching vibration of para-substituted benzene, it is considered in such a manner that, when the exciting wavelength is changed to the short wave side such as from 488.0 nm to 457.9 nm, the resonance conditions of the resonance Raman effect of the band of 1622 cm⁻¹ becomes more advantageous in comparison with the band of 1591 cm⁻¹, and the change of the relative strength as described above is generated. Next, the fact that, in the spectrums shown in Fig.1 and in Fig.2, the relative strength of the Raman lines of 1591 cm⁻¹ and 1622 cm⁻¹ is different in spite that they are of the same exciting wavelength (457.9 nm), will be explained Since N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylene diamine as a model compound of the phenylenediamine structure has a Raman line at 1617 cm⁻¹ only, and N,N'-diphenyl-p-benzoquinonediimine as a model compound of the quinonediimine structure has Raman lines at 1568 cm⁻¹ and at 1621 cm⁻¹, it is estimated that, as shown in (a), the para-substituted benzene ring non-conjugated to the quinonediimine structure has the Raman line of 1622 cm⁻¹ with increased strength by the excitation of the short wavelength light, and as shown in (b) the para-substituted benzene ring conjugated to the quinone diimine structure has the Raman lines of 1591 cm⁻¹ and 1622 cm⁻¹: (a) (b) 1622 cm⁻¹ 1591 cm⁻¹ 1622 cm⁻¹ Since the number of quinonediimine and the number of phenylenediamine can be considered to be approximately equal from the results of the elementary analysis, in the solvent soluble polyaniline of the undoped state according to the present invention, the structural sequence chain of the solvent soluble polyaniline of said undoppd state can be classified into two alternating copolymer-like continuous chains of the quinonediimine structure and phenylanediamine structure as shown in (c), and the block copolymer-like sequence of the quinone diimine structure and phenylenediimine structure as shown in (d). In the figure, the para-substituted benzene ring shown with an arrow shows the benzene ring non-conjugated to quinonediimine, and in the above-described alternating copolymer-like sequence, for example, there are two per 8 monomer units and in the block copolymer-like sequence, there are three. When the sequence unit is longer, the difference of the numbers of the quinonediimine and the non-conjugated benzene ring becomes larger. It can be said that this difference appears as the difference of the relative strength of the Raman lines of 1591 cm⁻¹ and 1622 cm⁻¹: Since in the solvent soluble polyaniline according to the present invention the Ia/Ib ratio in the laser Raman spectrum is more than 1.0, it seems that many benzene rings non-conjugated to quinonediimine structures are contained in the polyaniline, and thus it has the above-described block copolymer-like sequence. The organic solvent soluble properties of the polyaniline according to the present invention can be explained by the fact that it has such a block copolymer-like sequence. Although it is known that, in general, The imine nitrogen (-N=) in the quinonediimine structure forms a hydrogen bond with the secondary amino group nitrogen (-NH-) (Macromolecules, 21, 1297 (1988)), the hydrogen bond between the secondary amino group nitrogens to each other is not strong. Therefore, when polyaniline has the above-described alternating copolymer-like sequence, it forms a strong network of the hydrogen bonds as shown in (f). The fact that the heretofore known polyaniline is insoluble in many organic solvents seems to be caused by forming a strong network of such hydrogen bonds. In contrast to this, when the polymer sequence is the above-described block copolymer-like sequence such as that in the solvent soluble polyaniline of the undoped state according to the present invention, since the block chain has dfferent length in general, many hydrogen bonds can not be formed, even if the phenylenediamine structure part and the quinonediimine structure part are adjacent as can be seen in (e), so that the solvent penetrates between the polymer chains and hydrogen bonds are generated between the solvent, and the polymer is dissolved in the organic solvent. If it is assumed that the block chains have exactly the same length at every part, the network of the hydrogen bonds such as described above will be formed, but the probability of having such a structure is extremely little, and it can be neglected. Further, such interaction between the chains as described above, can be explained from the C-H in-plane bending vibration of the above-described laser Raman spectrum. The Raman line of 1162 cm⁻¹ assigned to the C-H in-plane bending vibration of the polyaniline in the undoped state shown in the above-described Fig.2 is shifted to the higher wavenumber of 1181 cm⁻¹, when the polyaniline is reduced and all imine nitrogen groups are transformed into secondary amino nitrogen groups. As described above, in the solvent soluble polyaniline according to the present invention, in the undoped state, there are two lines such as 1165 and 1185 cm⁻¹ as the Raman lines assigned to the C-H in-plane bending vibration. The Raman line of 1185 cm⁻¹ is the one which can not be seen in the hitherto known polyaniline in the undoped state, and shows a value nearly equal to that of the line 1181 cm⁻¹ which is assigned to the C-H in-plane pending vibration in the reduced state. From these points of view, the solvent soluble polyaniline according to the present invention is considered to have the block copolymer-like sequence in the undoped state, and has the atmosphere of a reducing structure. From this fact, it is considered to have a high solubility in an organic solvent, in spite of having a high molecular weight. As described above, the polyaniline according to the present invention is a polymer having a structural sequence different to that of the hitherto known polyaniline. Since the oxidative polymer of aniline according to the present invention has the quinonediimine structural unit and the phenylenediamine structural unit as the repeating units in the block copolymer-like sequence it has in the doped state with a protonic acid, a conductivity by the acid base reaction only, without acompanying the oxidation reduction reaction. This conductivity mechanism is described in A.G. MacDiarmid et al. (A. G. McDiarmid et al., J. Chem.Soc., Chem. Commun., 1987, 1784). The quinonediimine structure is protonized by the doping with the protonic acid to result in a semi-quinone cation radical structure which has conductivity. Such a state is called a polaron state. As described above, the polyaniline which is solvent soluble in the undoped state according to the present invention can be dissolved in an organic solvent, and can be formed into a free-standing film by the casting method, and a composite film can also be obtained by making the solution into a film by the casting method on an appropriate substrate, and by doping such a film with a protonic acid a conductive film is readily obtained. As protonic acids the ones as described above can be used. Before doping, the reflected light from the film exhibits copper color and the transmitted light blue color. But after doping with a protonic acid, the reflected light exhibits a blue color, and the transmitted light a green color. Also, after doping the reflectance of the near infrared region (1000 to 2000 nm) changes to a large extent. That is, before doping, almost all infrared rays are reflected, but after doping, almost all of infrared rays are absorbed. The conductivity of the conductive film obtained by doping depends on the pKa value of the protonic acid used. For the doping of the oxidative polymer of aniline a protonic acid having a pKa value of less than 4.8 is effective. When a protonic acid having a pKa value of 1 to 4.8 is used, the smaller the pKa value thereof that is, the stronger the acidity, the higher is the conductivity of the film obtained. However, when the pKa value is less than 1, the conductivity of the film obtained almost no more changes and is approximately constant. However, if necessary a protonic acid having a pKa value of less that 1 may be used. In the manner as described above, the conductivity of the conductive film according to the present invention obtained by doping of a protonic acid, is, in general, more than 10⁻⁵ S/cm, and in many cases, more than 10⁻⁴ S/cm. Accordingly, the conductive film according to the present invention is solely, or as a composite film, very useful, for example, as an anti-electrostatic material such as described in the following. This conducting film according to the present invention is strong, and does not easily break even if it is bent. However, since this conducting film is doped with a protonic acid in the same way as in the conducting polymer prepared in the presence of a protonic acid, it is insoluble in the organic solvent, due to the above-described reason, or due to the cross-linking by the coupling of the radicals formed in the heat and evaporation process of the solvent during film preparation. According to the present invention a conducting film in which the undoping is especially difficult to occur can be obtained by using polyvinyl sulfonic acid as the protonic acid. In general, the polyaniline obtained by oxidative polymerization is doped with the protonic acid used during polymerization. However, it is known that such a conducting polyaniline releases the protonic acid as a dopant in a weakly acidic, neutral, or alkaline aqueous solution, or in a basic organic solvent to remarkably lower its conductivity. Further, since the protonic acid generally used heretofore as a dopant is a low molecular acid, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric or perchloric acid, when a polyaniline thin film having such a low molecular acid as a dopant is used, for example, as an anti-electrostatic material, the low molecular acid is apt to be diffused to cause wearing of the metal part of the circumference. However, in the conducting polyaniline having polyvinyl sulphonic acid as a dopant according to the present invention, the lowering of its conductivity is remarkably small in an aqueous solution of more than pH 2.5, or especially in a nearly neutral solution in comparison with the above-described polyaniline with a low molecular acid as a dopant, and also with a polyaniline having polymer acids such as polystyrene sulfonic acid, polyallyl sulfonic acid or polyvinyl sulfuric acid, as a dopant. The reason why the lowering of the conductivity of the polyaniline having a polyvinyl sulfonic acid as a dopant is remarkably small, is not completely clear, but it is considered to be due, in addition to the polymer effect that the polyvinyl sulfonic acid is a polymer acid having a polyvalent charge, to the molecular structure effect that the polyvinyl sulfonic acid mutually acts strong with polyaniline in the molecular level. In order to dope the polyaniline in the undoped state with polyvinyl sulfonic acid, it will be sufficient that the above-described polyaniline is immersed in an aqueous solution of polyvinyl sulfonic acid of a pH of less than 2. Although the time required for doping depends on the film thickness of the polyaniline film used and the pH of the polyvinyl sulfonic acid aqueous solution, it generally is from several ten seconds to several days. In order to shorten the doping time, it is preferable that an aqueous solution of a pH of less than 1 is used. Further when a polyvinyl sulfonic acid having a low polymerization degree is used, doping can be rapidly effected and on the other hand, when a polyvinyl sulfonic acid having a high polymerization degree is used, a conducting polyaniline film in which undoping is more difficult to occur can be obtained. Since it is difficult for the polyaniline having a polyvinyl sulfonic acid as a dopant to release the dopant in a weakly acidic, neutral, or alkaline aqueous solution, its conductivity is not changed in the various procedures during production of the conducting polyaniline film, even by washing with water and an organic solvent, and a conducting film can be advantageously produced. Since a conducting film without containing another protonic acid such as, for example, the above-described low molecular acid as a dopant can be obtained, for example, by effecting washing with water sufficiently, after doping the polyaniline with polyvinyl sulfonic acid, such a conducting film does not cause wearing of the metal parts in the circumference by the low molecular acid which might be partly mixed as a dopant in the conducting polyaniline. When the conducting polyaniline is used in water and in an organic solvent, the conductivity is preserved for a long period. Therefore, such a conductive film can be used with high reliability, and preferably as an electric and electronic material such as an anti-electrostatic material or electro-magnetic wave shielding material. By utilizing the coating properties of the above-described solvent soluble aniline oxidative polymer solution, other than the organic polymer film, composite bodies produced by making the surfaces of various articles conductive can be obtained. Such a composite body can be obtained by coating the solution of the above-described oxidative polymer of aniline soluble in an organic solvent on a substrate, and after making a thin film, the film is doped with a protonic acid. The substrate is not especially limited. Examples comprise various resins molded products, foamed bodies, fibres, cloths, non-woven cloths comprising glass or resins, plate, foil, fibre and structured bodies consisting of metals. A preferable example of such a composite body is a conductive composite film made by coating the solution of the above-described oxidative polymer or aniline soluble in an organic solvent on a substrate made of a polyimide film or a polyester film to form a thin film, and subsequently, by doping the film with a protonic acid. Since according to the present inven-the coating procedure on the substrate and the doping procedure of the solvent soluble polyaniline can be effected separately, a continuous production or such a conductive composite film is easily carried out. Since the solvent soluble polyaniline can be made into a film by casting and coating, film having a very thin thickness and a high transparency can be obtained on the substrate. For example after continuously forming a thin film with a thickness of 0.01 to 0.5 µm on a transparent substrate such as polyethylene terephthalate, the film can be rolled up. Further, by adjusting the thickness of the thin film, the surface resistance can be controlled in various ways. Such a composite body can be preferably used as an anti-electrostatic composite body. In particular, if the thin film has a thickness of about 0.01 to 0.5 µm, the composite film obtains a visual light transmissivity of 80% or more, and an anti-electrostatic film having a surface resistance of about 10⁴ to 10¹¹ Ω can be obtained. By using the conductive composite film thus obtained having the anti-electrostatic function, and by adding thereto a release agent layer and an adhesive agent layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape without being peeling charged during winding back of the tape can be obtained. As the release agent ordinary ones can be used such as silicone compounds or long chain alkyl compounds, and as the adhesive agent, acrylic compounds or rubber compounds can be used. In addition to the ordinary method wherein a film or a thin film on a substrate such as, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate film or a polyimide film can be formed by casting the solvent soluble polyaniline. It is preferable that the solvent soluble polyaniline is casted on the substrate, while heating the substrate to evaporate the solvent. By such a method the wetting properties of the substrate are enhanced, and the spring off of the polyaniline solution on the substrate is prevented, and the polyaniline solution can be uniformly coated, and thus, a uniform polyaniline thin film can be easily obtained. It is preferable that the substrate is heated to such an extent that its surface temperature is at 80 to 120°C, or preferably, in the range of 90 to 100°C. When a solvent soluble polyaniline is casted to form a film or a thin film a uniform polyethylene thin film can be easily obtained by previously subjecting the substrate to sputter etching, in a range where the discharge treatment amount defined as the product of the treating power density and the treating time is 0.1 to 50 W s/cm² or preferably, in the range of 1 to 30 W s/cm² and the solvent soluble polyaniline is casted on the surface of such a substrate, and then the solvent is evaporated. In particular, this method is preferable when a fluorine resin film is used as the substrate. The sputter etching treatment is in general effected at room temperature. The frequency of the high frequency power used may be in the range of several hundred kHz to several ten MHz, but in practice, it is preferable that 13.56 MHz, which is the industrial allotment frequency, is used. The distance between the electrodes is determined to be proportional to the reciprocal number of the square root of the atmospheric pressure. When, for example, the atmospheric pressure is 0.005 Torr, it is more than 30 mm. Although air and steam are generally used as the atmosphere, other gases, like inert gases such as nitrogen, argon or helium, and carbon dioxide gas, can be used. On the substrate subjected to the sputter etching treatment as described above, for example, on the surface of a fluorine resin molded product, active polar groups such as carboxyl groups, aldehyde groups or hydroxide group, are formed and the wetting properties for an organic solvent are remarkably improved. Heretofore, as means for improving the wetting properties of a fluorine resin molded product such as films or membranes, various means are known such as corona discharge, plasma treatment or chemical treatment. By means of these treatments, the wetting properties of the surface of the fluorine resin molded product to the polyaniline solution can almost not improved. However, as described above, by previously subjecting the surface of the fluorine resin product to a sputter etching treatment, or by improving the wetting properties of the surface of the fluorine resin molded product to the polyaniline solution, the polyaniline solution can be uniformly coated on the surface of a fluorine resin molded product, and thus, a uniform polyaniline thin film can be obtained on the surface of a fluorine resin molded product. The sputter etching treatment is well known and, for example, in the official publication of Japanese Patent Application No.22108/1978. It is a treatment for applying high frequency voltage between the negative and positive electrodes under a reduced pressure atmosphere in a pressure resistive vessel, to accelerate positive ions formed by discharge and let them collide with the surface of the molded product on the negative electrode. The equipment for this treatment is such that the negative electrode and the positive electrode are arranged in the pressure resistive vessel in a counterposed manner, the negative electrode is connected to the high frequency power source via an impedance adjustor, and the positive electrode is connected to the earth side of the high frequency power source. In the outside of the negative electrode a shield electrode is arranged and kept at the earth potential. The molded products can be treated in a batch system or continuous system in dependence to the conditions of the equipment. The equipment which is, for example, described in the official publication of Japanese Patent Application No. 1338/1981 and No. 1338/1981, can be used. Further, a heat-proof fibre can be obtained from the solvent soluble aniline oxidative polymer according to the present invention, by extruding its solution from a spinning nozzle, and by removing the solvent therefrom by heating and drying, and when it is doped with a protonic acid a conducting fibre can be obtained. Since the aniline oxidative polymer in the undoped state according to the present invention dissolves well in various solvents, and especially in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and has a far higher molecular weight compared to the hitherto known polyaniline, a strong film having excellent flexibility and heat-proof properties, and without being broken even when it is bent, is easily obtained by the casting method. It can be made into a film or a thin film on an appropriate substrate. Moreover, by doping such a film or a thin film with a protonic acid, a high conducting organic polymer with high strength can be obtained in the same manner. This conducting film has high stability, and can be used, for example, as an anti-electrostatic material and an electromagnetic wave shielding material. The solvent soluble polymer according to the present invention can also be span into a fibre, and when this is doped, a conducting fibre can be obtained. Further, the aniline oxidative polymer according to the present invention is soluble in an organic solvent even in a doped state, when it has been doped with an organic acid having an acid dissociation constant pKa value of less than 4.8, or with a certain kind of inorganic acid. Therefore, such a solution can immediately form a thin film of the conducting organic polymer on a substrate by coating it on a suitable substrate, and by removing the solvent. The present invention will be explained by referring to the following Examples. EXAMPLE 1 (Production of a conducting organic polymer in a doped state by oxidative polymerization of aniline) A separable flask of 10 l volume, equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer and a straight tube adapter, was filled with 6000 g of distilled water, 360 ml of 36% hydrochloric acid, 400 g (4.295 mol) of aniline in this order, and the aniline was dissolved. Separately, to 1493 g of distilled water was added 34 g (4.295 mol) of 97% concentrated sulfuric acid, and mixed to prepare a sulfuric acid aqueous solution. This sulfuric acid aqueous solution was added into the above-described separable flask, and the whole flask was cooled to -4°C in a low temperature thermostat. Next, 980 g (4.295 mol) of ammonium peroxo-disulfate was added to 2293 g of distilled water in a beaker, and dissolved to prepare an oxidizing agent aqueous solution. The whole flask was cooled in a low temperature thermostat, and while preserving the temperature of the reaction mixture below -3°C, the above-described ammonium peroxodisulfate aqueous solution was gradually dropped from the straight tube adapter into an acidic solution of an aniline salt in a rate of 1 ml/min by use of a tubing pump. At first, the colorless transparent solution changed its color during the progress of polymerization from greenish blue to blackish green, and successively, a blackish green colored powder separated out. Although temperature rise was perceived in the reaction mixture during this powder precipitation, in order to obtain a high molecular weight polymer it is also important to keep the temperature in the reaction system at less than 0°C, or preferably below -3°C. After the precipitation of the powder, the dropping rate of the ammonium peroxodisulfate aqueous solution may be a little hastened, such as, for example, to about 8 ml/min. However, it is necessary to adjust the dropping rate such as to preserve the temperature below -3°C, while monitoring the temperature of the reaction mixture. Thus, after finishing the dropping of the ammonium peroxodisulfate aqueous solution by spending 7 stirring was continued for further one hour at a temperature of below -3°C. The polymer powder obtained was filtered off, washed with water and cleaned with acetone, and dried in vacuum at room temperature to obtain 430 g of blackish green colored polymer powder. This powder was pressed to mold a disk of a diameter of 13 mm and a thickness of 700 µm, and its conductivity measured by the Van der Pauw method was 14 S/cm. ( Undoping of a conducting organic polymer with ammonia ) Into 4 l of a 2 N ammoniacal water was added 350 g of the above-described doped conducting organic powder, and the mixture was stirred in an autohomo-mixer at 5000 r,p, min for 5h. The color of the mixture changed from blackish green to blueish violet. The powder was filtrated off with a Buchner funnel, and while being stirred in a beaker, was repeatedly washed with distilled water until the filtrate became neutral, and successively washed with acetone until the filtrate became colorless. Afterwards, the powder was vacuum dried at room temperature for 10 h to obtain a blackish brown colored undoped polymer powder of 280 g. This polymer gas soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and its solubility was 8 g (7.4%) for 100 g of the same solvent. Also, the intrinsic viscosity [η] measured at 30°C by using the same liquid as a solvent was 1.23 dl/g. The solubility of this polymer in dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylformamide was less than 1%. In tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, 80% acetic acid aqueous solution, 60% formic acid aqueous solution, and acetonitrile, the polymer was substantially insoluble. The laser Raman spectrum obtained by irradiating the beam of the exciting wavelength of 457.9 nm to a sample formed of the powder of polyaniline in the undoped state and molded in a disk-like shape is shown in Fig.1. For comparison's sake, the laser Raman spectrum obtained by irradiating the beam of the exciting wavelength of 457.9 nm on the polyaniline of the undoped state, and shown in Y.Furukawa et al., Synth. Met., 16, 189 (1986) is shown in Fig.2. This polyaniline had been obtained by electrochemical oxidative polymerization of aniline on a platinum electrode. Also, the result of the measurement of the Raman spectrum in the range of 1400 to 1700 cm⁻¹ by changing the wavelength or the laser exciting beam is shown in Fig.3. In accordance with the change of the exciting wavelength from 488.0 nm to 476.5 nm such as to the short wave side, the ratio Ia/Ib changed at 457.9 nm, it was more than 1.0, and in comparison with the case of 488.0 nm, it was seen that the strength ratio Ia/Ib was reversely changed. Further, an electronic spectrum is shown in Fig.4. Next, a GPC measurement was carried out on the above-described organic solvent soluble polyaniline by using a GPC column. The column was one made by connecting 3 kinds of columns for use with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Also, as an eluent a N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solution or lithium bromide having a concentration of 0.01 mol/l was used. The result of the GPC measurement is shown in Fig.5. From the result, it was found that the above-described organic solvent soluble polyaniline had a number-averaged molecular weight of 23,000 and a weight-averaged molecular weight or 160,000 (either one is a value converted to the polystyrene standard). In the same manner, solvent soluble polyanilines having different intrinsic viscosities [η] measured at 30°C in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone were obtained by changing the reaction conditions in various ways. The intrinsic viscosity [η] and the number-averaged molecular weight and the weight-averaged molecular weight are shown in Table 1. Intrinsic viscosity [η] [dl/g] Molecular weight by GPC Number averaged molecular weight Weight averaged molecular weight 0.40 10000 48000 0.48 12000 120000 0.56 14000 130000 0.76 18000 140000 1.23 23000 160000 EXAMPLE 2 ( Preparation of a free standing film by use of a soluble aniline oxidative polymer ) 5g of the undoped aniline oxidative polymer obtained in Example 1 were added to 95 g of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in small amounts, and dissolved at room temperature to obtain a blackish blue colored solution. This solution was vacuum filtered with a G3 glass filter to obtain an insoluble matter residue on the filter in an extremely small amount. The filter was washed with acetone, and after drying the residual insoluble matter, the weight of the insoluble matter was measured to be 75 mg. Therefore, the soluble part of the polymer was 98.5%, and the insoluble matter was 1.5%. The polymer solution obtained in such a manner was casted on a glass plate by means of a glass rod, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone was evaporated in a hot wind ciculating drier at 160°C for two hours. Subsequently, by immersing the glass plate in cold water, the polymer film was peeled off naturally, and thus, a polymer film of a thickness of 40 µm was obtained. After cleaning this film with acetone, it was wind dried at room temperature to obtain a copper colored film having a metallic lustre. The strength and solubility of the film are different depending on the drying temperature thereof. When the drying temperature was below 100°C, the film obtained dissolves N-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidone in a small amount, and its strength is also comparatively small. A film obtained by heating at a temperature above 130°C was very strong, and also did not dissolve in a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or a concentrated sulfuric acid. It seems that the polymer molecules mutually bridge to each other and become insoluble during the procedure of the heating as described above. The conductivity of the films in the undoped state was in either case in the order of 10⁻¹¹ S/cm. Also, the film was not broken even if it was bent for 10,000 times, and its tensile strength was 850 kg/cm². EXAMPLE 3 ( Doping of a free standing film with a protonic acid ) After immersing the free standing films obtained in Example 2 in 1 N sulfuric acid, perchloric acid. and hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, respectively, at room temperature for 66 h, they were cleaned with acetone and wind dried to obtain a conducting film, respectively. All films exhibited a concentrated blue color, and the conductivity was, respectively, 9 S/cm, 13 S/cm, and 6 S/cm. Also, the tensile strength of the film doped with perchloric acid was 520 kg/cm². EXAMPLE 4 ( The spectrum and structure of a soluble polymer and a polymer made into an insoluble film, which are both in the undoped state ) The FT-IR spectra of the powder of the soluble polymer obtained in Example 1 and the insoluble polymer film obtained in Example 2 measured by the KBr method are shown respectively in Fig.6 and Fig.7. In the spectrum of the insoluble polymer film obtained in Example 2, the absorption at 1660 cm⁻¹ due to the solvent residue, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, is a little perceived, but since the two spectra are almost the same, it is perceived that there are no large changes produced in the chemical structure, although the polymer is made to solvent insoluble due to the bridging by the heating and drying of the solvent after the casting of the solvent soluble polymer. The result of thermogravimetric analysis of the above-described soluble polymer powder and the insoluble film is shown in Fig.8. Both have high heat resistant properties. Since the insoluble film is not decomposed until up to a higher temperature, and considering that is insoluble in a concentrated sulfuric acid, the polymer molecules are bridged. The ESR spectrum is shown in Fig.9. The spin concentration is 1.2 × 10¹⁸ spin/g in the soluble polymer, and as the heating temperature is increased, the spin concentration becomes higher, which shows that radicals are formed by the heating. It seems that the polymer is bridged due to the coupling of the radicals and the heated film becomes insoluble. The results of the elementrary analysis of the soluble polymer and insoluble polymer will be shown in the following. Soluble polymer C, 77.19; H, 4.76; N, 14.86 (total 96.81) Insoluble polymer C, 78.34; H, 4.99; N, 15.16 (total 98.49) On the basis of this elementary analysis, the composition formula of the soluble polymer normalized at C12.00 is C 12.00 H 8.82 N 1.98 and the composition formula of the insoluble polymer is C 12.00 H 9.11 N 1.99 On the other hand, the quinonediimine structural unit and the phenylenediamine structural unit normalized at C 12.00 in the same manner are respectively as follows. quinonediimine structural unit C₁₂H₈N₂ Phenylenediamine structural unit C₁₂H₁₀N₂ Accordingly, both the soluble polymer and the solvent insoluble polymer are, as described above, polymers having the quinonediimine structural unit and phenylenediamine structural unit as the main repeating units. Next, the reflective spectra in the visual to near region of the film in the undoped state obtained in Example 2 and the film doped with perchloric acid are respectively shown in Fig.10. Although, in the undoped state almost all the near infrared rays are reflected, after doping, the near infra-red rays are absorbed, and it is perceived that there is almost no reflection. This is based on the absorption due to the polaron or the hiperpolaron which brings about the conductivity formed by the doping of a protonic acid. Also, by carrying out the doping of the film in the undoped state with perchloric acid, the ESR absorption is increased to a large extent and the spin concentration reaches even up to 3.8 × 10²¹ spin/g. This is due to the semi-quinone radical as the polaron formed. Example 5 The polymer films obtained in Example 2 were immersed in a protonic acid aqueous solutions or alcoholic solutions having various pKa values to examine the advisability of the doping. The conductivity of polymer films obtained by doping protonic acids having various pKa values is shown in Table 2. It can be seen that protonic acids having a pKa values of less than 4.8 are effective for the doping of the polymer.

The composite film was cut in squares, and a silver paste was coated on the two peripheral sides mutually counterposed, and the surface resistance was measured to be 3.5 Ω. The conductivity was 0.02 S/cm. As a result of the observation of the sectional surface of this composite film on the transmissive type electron microscope photography the thickness of the aniline oxidative polymer film was found to be about 0,1 µm, The surface resistance of this film almost did not change even in vacuum, or under a low humidity of a globe box replaced with argon (dew point of -37°C, humidity 180 ppm). EXAMPLE 7 ( Production of a conducting organic polymer in the dedoped state by oxidative polymerization of aniline ) Into a separable flask of 1 l volume. equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, and a dropping funnel, were filled 450 g of distilled water, 30 ml of 6% hydrochloric acid, and 30 g (0.322 mol) of aniline in this order, and the aniline was dissolved. Separately, 32 g of a 97% concentrated sulfuric acid (0.32 mol) were added to the 112 g of distilled water in the beaker while coolig with ice water, and the mixture was mixed to prepare a sulfuric acid aqueous solution. This sulfuric acid aqueous solution was added into the above-described separable flask, and the whole flask was cooled down to the temperature of less than 5°C with ice water. Next, 73.5 g (0.322 mol) of ammonium peroxodisulfate was added to distilled water in a beaker, and dissolved to prepare an oxidizing agent aqueous solution. The whole flask was cooled in a low temperature thermostat, and while preserving the temperature of the reaction mixture below -3°C, the above-described ammonium peroxodisulfate aqueous solution was gradually dropped the aqueous solution of the aniline salt under stirring expending 105 min At first, the colorless transparent solution changed its color from greenish blue to blackish green, and successively, a blackish green colored powder was separated. After finishing the dropping of the ammonium peroxodisulfate aqueous solution, stirring was continued for further 45 min at a temperature of -3°C. A part of the polymer powder obtained was washed with water and acetone, and vacuum dried at room temperature, and a blackish green polymer powder was obtained. The powder was pressed to form a disk of a diameter of 13 mm, and a thickness of 700 µm, having a conductivity of 18 S/cm. ( Undoping of the conducting organic polymer by use of ammonia ) To the reaction mixture containing the above-described doped conducting organic polymer powder in a flask was added 150 ml of 25% ammoniacal water, and stirred under cooling for 1.5 h The color of the reaction mixture changed from blackish green to bluish violet. The powder was filtered through a Büchner funnel, and while stirring in a beaker, was repeatedly washed with distilled water until the filtrate became neutral, and successively, washed with acetone until the filtrate became colorless. Afterwards, the powder was vacuum dried at room temperature for 10h to obtain 22.5 g of violet colored undoped polymer powder. This polymer was soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and its solubility was 8 g (7.4%) to 100 g of the same solvent. Also, its intrinsic viscosity [η] measured at 30°C by use of the same solvent was 1.20. The solubility of this polymer in dimethyl sulphoxide and dimethylformamide was less than 1%. The polymer was substantially not soluble in tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, 80% acetic acid aqueous solution, 60% formic acid aqueous solution, and acetonitrile. EXAMPLE 8 ( Preparation of a free-standing film by use of the soluble aniline oxidative polymer ) 5 g of undoped aniline oxidative polymer powder obtained in Example 7 was added to 950 g of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in small amounts and was dissolved at room temperature, and a blackish blue solution was obtained. When this solution was vacuum filtered with a G3 glass filter, the insoluble matter remaining on the filter were extremely small. This filter was washed with acetone, and after drying the remaining insoluble matter, its weight was measured to be 75 mg. Therefore, 98.5% or the polymer was dissolved, and the insoluble matter was 1.5%. The polymer solution thus obtained was casted on a glass plate by use of a glass rod, and dried in a hot air circulaing drier at 160°C for 2 h to evaporate N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Afterwards, by immersing the glass plate in cold water, the polymer film was naturally peeled off and a polymer film of a thickness of 40 µm was obtained. After washing this film with acetone, it was dried in air at room temperature to obtain a copper-colored film having metallic lustre. The film shows different strength and solubility in dependence to the drying temperature thereof. When the drying temperature is less than 100°C, the film obtained is slightly soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and its strength is comparatively small. However, a film obtained at a temperature higher than 130°C is very strong, and does not dissolve in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and in other organic solvents. Also, it does not dissolve in sulfuric acid. It seems that, when the film is heated at a high temperature, the polymer molecules cross-link to each other during the procedure, and become insoluble. The film in the undoped state thus obtained had a conductivity of the order of 10⁻¹⁰ S/cm. Also, the film was not broken by bending it even for 10,000 times, and its tensile strength was 840 kg/cm². The results of the elementary analysis of the soluble polymer and insoluble polymer will be shown in the following. Soluble polymer: C, 77.97; H, 5.05 ; N 14.68 (total 97.70) Insoluble polymer: C, 78.31; H, 5.38 ; N 15.31 (total 99.00) The composition formula of the soluble polymer normalized to C 12.00 on the basis of this elementary analysis is C 12.00 H 9.28 N 1.94 and that of the insoluble polymer is C 12.00 H 9.82 N 2.01 . On the other hand, the quinonediimine structural unit and the phenylene diamine structural unit normalized in the same way to C 12.00 are respectively as follows: Quinonediimine structural unit C₁₂H₈N₂ Phenylenediamine structural unit C₁₂T₁₀N₂ Both the soluble polymer and solvent insoluble polymer are polymers having quinonediimine structural units and phenylenediamine structural units as main repeating units.

On the composite film in the case of effecting no doping to the film thereafter, the close adhesive properties of the polyaniline thin film, surface hardness, wear strength, light transmittance, conductivity, and friction charging properties were measured, and the results are shown in Table 4. Example 22 The solvent-soluble polyaniline of the undoped state obtained in Example 1 was dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) together with the protonic acid shown in Table 5 and with an additive, in need, to prepare a solution. This solution was coated on a polyethylene terephthalate film by means of the kissroll coat method, and heat dried in a hot wind dryer furnace at 100°C. The surface resistance value of the conducting polyaniline thin film obtained is shown in Table 5. By the way, in the case of the experimental number 6, the film thickness of the conducting polyaniline thin film obtained was about 0.08 µm as a result of the observation of the sectional surface by means of the ultrathin film slice method of the transmission type electron microscope.

Also, as the dopant dichloroacetic acid, terephthalic acid, of sulfuric acid, other than malonic acid was used. Furthermore, since terephthalic acid does not dissolve in the diluting solvent isopropanol it was previously dissolved in an N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solution. As an additive, naphthalene was used. The dopant (and additive) solution obtained was added to the above-described polymer solution, and diluted. The solution obtained did not absorb humidity and was stable for a long period. Successively, this solution was coated on a polyethyleneterephthalate film by means of the kissroll coat method, and was heat dried in a hot air dryer furnace at 100°C. The film thickness and surface resistance value of the conducting polyaniline thin film obtained are shown in Table 6. When sulfuric acid is used as a dopant, the doped polyaniline precipitates. However, by subjecting the mixture containing the precipitate to ultrasonic wave stirring, a uniform solution can be obtained, and by coating this solution on a substrate and evaporating the solvent, a thin film of the conductive organic polymer can be formed on a substrate. Measurement of the Surface Resistance Value The sample obtained was cut in 40 × 40 mm, and two electrodes were arranged in parallel on a thin film of the conducting organic polymer while keeping gaps of 10 mm between them, using a conductive graphite paint to be dried at room temperature.
