Structure and electrical properties of polyaniline synthesized in presence of low magnetic field

Chemical polymerization of aniline is carried out in the presence of low magnetic field (1 kG and 2 kG). The impact of application of magnetic field externally during polymerization increases the electrical conductivity by two orders of magnitude. This enhanced electrical conductivity depends on ordering of polymer chain, structure, molecular weight, magnetic susceptibility, and thermal characteristics of polyaniline which has been studied and reported.
