We demonstrated polyaniline (PANI) dimensional transformation by adding trace amino-Fe3O4 microspheres to aniline polymerization. Different PANI nanostructures (i.e., flowers, tentacles, and nanofibers) could be produced by controlling the nucleation position and number on the surface of Fe3O4 microspheres, where hydrogen bonding were spontaneously formed between amino groups of Fe3O4 microspheres and aniline molecules. By additionally introducing an external magnetic field, PANI towers were obtained. These PANI nanostructures displayed distinctly different surface wettability in the range from hydrophobicity to hydrophilicity, which was ascribed to the synergistic effect of their dimension, hierarchy, and size. Therefore, the dimension and property of PANI nanostructures can be largely rationalized and predicted by adjusting the PANI nucleation and growth. Using PANI as a model system, the strategies presented here provide insight into the general scheme of dimension and structure control for other conducting polymers.
