| dc.description.abstract | Polystyrene is a poor conductor of both heat and, electricity. In this study, effort was made to enhance the conductivities of this polymer by incorporating metal salts viz: Pb (NO ) , CoCl .6H O and 32 2 2 ZnSO .7H O at different concentrations (0.2M, 0.4M, 0.6M. 0.8M and 1.0M). It was observed from the results 4 2 that the electrical and thermal conductivities of PS were indeed enhanced. The conductivity increased with increase in the concentration of each metal. The trend is ZnSO .7H O > CoCl .6H O > Pb(NO ) for both 4 2 2 2 3 2 electrical and thermal conductivities. | en_US |
