Controllable organic magnetoresistance in polyaniline coated poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) short fibers

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Aug 20;55(68):10068-10071. doi: 10.1039/c9cc04789a.

Abstract

Herein, we first report a tunable organic magnetoresistance (OMAR) effect in polyaniline (PANI) coated acid treated poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (t-PBO) short fibers. This unique OMAR is interpreted using the paramagnetic nature of PBO molecules combined with the localization length a0 calculated from the wave-function shrinkage model and forward interference model.
