Abstract
Conducting polymers are considered to be quasi-one-dimensional materials. To be able to study the intrinsic properties of these materials, such as intra- and inter-chain electron motions, it is important to reach a high degree of orientation of the polymer chains. Orientation is also important for achieving a high conductivity in these materials, since an increased order also increases the overlap of orbitals between chains, and thus increases the hopping probability.
