Investigation of influence of constant magnetic fields on the structure and properties of chloroprene latex based films

The influence of constant magnetic fields with induction up to 0.6 T on the supermolecular structure and properties of chloroprene latex based films was investigated. The method used were X-ray analysis, volume resistivity measurement, light microscopy and photocurrent measurement in polarized light, mechanical properties of films and density measurements. It was found that the changes in magnetic field induction have significant effects on the film structure and all properties investigated. The observed dependences may be connected to different ratios between magnetic field induction, which acts as an orientating force, and the material's elastic forces, which act in a disorientating manner.
