Fluorescent polyaniline nanoparticles

Abstract

The present invention has as an inventive step the production of fluorescent polyaniline nanoparticles via a specific process relating to a wet chemistry technique whereby polyaniline (PANI), an oxidizing agent and surfactants are combined, for minimizing problems resulting from aggression to the environment, since organic solvents that are environmentally unfriendly materials are used in the current art, and the aim of said invention is to develop new nanoscale fluorescent systems and to improve the performance of machines that require such nanoparticles. The present invention can be used in the industry of electroluminescent devices, and for labelling biological molecules.
