35. Aniline dimer formation is essentially the rate determining step of aniline polymerization. This step is bypassed by intentionally introducing aniline dimer into the polymerization of aniline. Open circuit potential is a semiquantitative technique for evaluating this process and is particularly useful in comparative studies. More detailed mechanistic studies of the kinetics of aniline polymerization can be found in references 36, and 37.
