Synthesis of polyaniline in presence of low magnetic field, its structure and electrical properties

Authors: 

Nafdey Renuka and Kelkar Deepali

Polyaniline is synthesized chemically under the influence of low magnetic field of intensity 1KGauss. The effect of magnetic field during the synthesis process causes enhancement of electrical conductivity by two orders of magnitude. This increased electrical conductivity depends on the polymer chain ordering, as well as structure and morphology of the reported polymer.
