Silver ion induced conductivity of polyethylene Naphthalate (pen)

The conductivity of Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) pristine and irradiated with silver ions (120MeV) having fluence range of 1x1011 ions/cm2 to 6x1011 ions/cm2 have been studied using dielectric studies. The analysis of dielectric studies point toward that hopping process is the main mode for electronic conduction in the polymer.
