Epofix resin containing 80-100% of Bisphenol-A-diglycidylether with a viscosity of 50cP at<br />

20°C and Epofix har<strong>de</strong>ner containing triethylenetetramine supplied by Struers company were<br />

employed to fill the pores of the template after LbL <strong>de</strong>position. Sodium chlori<strong>de</strong> 99.5% was<br />

purchased from Fluka. Ultrapure water with a resistivity of 18.2MΩ.cm was used in all<br />

experiments and was obtained from a Milli-Q plus system Millipore Biocel. For filtration of the<br />

PANI solution, glass fiber filters were purchased from millipore with a diameter size of 47mm.<br />

5.3.2 Rheological Analysis<br />

A constant stress rheometer (SR 5000, Rheometric Scientific) equipped with a 25 mm parallel<br />

disk geometry was utilized to measure the linear viscoelastic properties of homopolymers<br />

containing 0.2% antioxidant. Measurements were carried out using a parallel-plate geometry<br />

with a gap of about 1.2 mm. The experiments were carried out un<strong>de</strong>r a nitrogen atmosphere at a<br />

temperature of 190°C over a frequency range from 0.005 to 79.5 rad s -1 . The disc shaped samples<br />
