Abstract
The synthesis, characterization, structural elucidation, and application of the dispersant obtained from the condensation of β -naphthalene sulfonic acid and formaldehyde are reported. The one-pot synthesis from naphthalene, sulfuric acid, and formaldehyde leads to reproducible polymers with 13 and 14 naphthalene nuclei. The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra in D 2 O (representative spherical shape) and DMSO (representative rod-like shape) are reported. The belching technique led to excellent super pure material.
