A novel, well-defined, multifunctional electroactive poly(amic acid) (EPAA) containing oligoaniline pendants was synthesized by a one-step synthetic route. The structure was confirmed spectroscopically via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and the thermal stability was probed via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The oligoaniline pendants imparted excellent electroactivity, photoresponsiveness to chemical redox and electrochemical modulation, and expectable electrochromic performance to the obtained EPAA. Leucoemeraldine base EPAA (LEPAA), emeraldine base EPAA (EEPAA) and HCl-doped emeraldine base EPAA (HCl-doped EEPAA) nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to test their morphology, and a contact angle goniometer was used to test their hydrophilicity. The as-prepared HCl-doped EEPAA nanofibers were then evaluated for their ability to sense ammonia.
