Aniline is one of the most important chemical building blocks. Nearly 5 million metric tons of it is used globally, mostly to make the polyurethane raw material methylene diphenyl diisocyanate.

Today, aniline is produced from benzene distilled from petroleum. It is still widely used to produce dyes for fabrics and hair, but has numerous other applications.

The addition of persulfate initiates poly (aniline) formation in a mild process that preserves the soft template, which can then be dissolved to leave behind two 13–45-nm-thick poly (aniline ...
