This study employs the gamma radiation technique to produce conducting polyaniline from an aqueous solution. The solution comprises four materials: ANI, PVA, CaCl2 and distilled H2O, which serve as a binder or film support, precursor, Cl ions provider, and a solvent. To obtain the conducting polyani...
