Abstract
The conductivity of single crystals of bis-p-toluenesulphonate polydia cetylene (PDA-TS) was studied using the pulse-radiolysis time resolved microwave conductivity (PR-TRMC) technique. This technique allows us to probe the charge carrier transport along the individual polymer cha ins. An anisotropy ratio of 220 was found in favour of charge transpor t in the direction of the conjugated polymer backbone as compared to t he transverse direction. A lower limit of 10(-3) m(2)/Vs is found for the charge carrier mobilities.
