STRETCH ALIGNED POLYANILINE FILMS

Monkman, AP; Adams, P

Abstract

We have measured optical and electrical anisotropy in uniaxially stretch aligned polyaniline films. Free standing films of polyaniline cast from N-methyl-pyrrolidone solution have been elongated by up to a maximum 650%, to yield conductivities up to 350 Scm-1 and maximum electrical anisotropy of 24. Optical reflectivity measurements of such films show them to closely resemble metallic polyacetylene, although they do not show such high optical anisotropy.
