Abstract

The dependency of the conductivity of polyaniline (emeraldine oxidation state) on its molecular weight has been determined. Uni- and biaxially oriented films and uniaxially oriented fibers of emeraldine base have been studied and the dependency of their degree of crystallinity, tensile strength, and conductivity (after doping) on draw ratio has been determined.
