ELECTROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METAL NITRATE COMPLEXES WITH POLYACRYLAMIDE

The electrophysical characteristics of metallopolymers obtained by spo ntaneous polymerization of complexes of Er, Ca, and UO2 nitrates with acrylamide were investigated. The conductivity (sigma) at direct curre nt was measured (10(-5) to 10(-6) Ohm(-1) cm(-1)), and its alterations during the polymerization were observed. The conductivity of the meta llopolymers obtained depends essentially on the voltage applied during the polymerization and the component ratio in the original mixture. I t is concluded that the conductivity is ionic in character. The conduc tivity and the electret properties discovered depend on the moisture c ontent of the samples.
