Abstract
The electrochemically synthesized poly(p-phenylene) film could be zone drawn by a factor of 1.57, where the orientation function (f) increased with the draw ratio (λ), regardless of the heater temperature (Th) or applied tension (σ), and reached 0.428 for the resulting film. The electrical conductivity in the drawing direction rose with f but decreased as Th became higher due to dedoping that occurred simultaneously with drawing. Young's modulus and tensile strength significantly increased to 4.5 GPa and 155 MPa by zone drawing from 1.1 GPa and 79 MPa of the as-synthesized film.
