Abstract
Samples of stretch-oriented new polyacetylene were synthesized and dop ed with iodine or ferric chloride. Thermoelectric power was measured b etween 4 and 300 K. Linear ('metallic') relations were observed with s ignificant anisotropy of the thermopower. The direction of higher ther mopower was the same as the direction of higher conductivity. This phe nomenon was explained assuming intrinsic inhomogeneity of the polymer.
