Abstract

The conductivity and tensile strength of stretch-oriented, doped, crosslinked films of polyaniline are found to be considerably greater than those prepared from non-crosslinked films of the polymer. The conductivity of the former films show little dependence on molecular weight or degree of crosslinking whereas their tensile strength shows significant dependence on these variables.
