✦ Synopsis

The electrical characteristics of poly(p-phenylene sulphide) single crystals, grown from dilute solutions in diphenyl ether, have been investigated before and after doping with 12 and AlCl 3 . The resulting modifications in the thermal and i.r. spectroscopic properties are described. The results indicate marked anisotropy of the transport properties in the crystals, with preferential movement of the charges in the direction perpendicular to the chain axis.
