Fourier-transform infrared （FTIR） results demonstrated that PANi was successfully polymerized in the microfibers. The morphology of the PVC-AN-PANi microfibers was observed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. Results of differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the polymer composite of PVC-AN-PANi formed via molecular interactions. Although the conductivity of PVC-AN-PANi microfibers was still limited （2.2 × 10^-8 S/cm）, this method provided an effective and convenient approach for preparing highly uniform and soft microfibrous electrodes.展开更多
