Structural characterizations were carried out by Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Thermal characterizations were carried out by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. The number average molecular weight, M-n, of the polymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography. The effects of monomer and initiator concentration and polymerization time on the polymer yield were also studied. The solubility of the P-2AT was tested in common organic solvents as well as in acidic and basic solutions. P-2AT was soluble in DMSO, THF and DMF and its conductivity value measured 3 x 10(-6) S/cm.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessConducting polymerSoluble polymerThiazole polymersPoly(2-aminothiazole)Chemical polymerizationArticle70102843285610.1007/s00289-013-0992-22-s2.0-84883445384Q1WOS:000323668200014Q3
