Abstract

Positron annihilation lifetime measurements are made in a series of polyaniline polymers with different chemical compositions and protonation ratios at room temperature. Two positron lifetimes are observed in these materials: one is assigned to annihilation in the bulk and the other to voids created due to protonation. A relationship between conductivities and positron annihilation probabilities is found.
