A comprehensive study of the effect of HCl and malic acid on electrical transport properties of polyaniline has been reported. Samples are prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline. Granular morphology and better thermal stability is obtained. Temperature dependence of dc electrical transport can be explained by Mott's variable range hopping theory. Electrical transport is influenced by magnetic field. POLYM. COMPOS. 37:1042–1048, 2016. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers
