Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films, filled with equal mass fractions (less than or equal to 0.175) of FeCl3 and CuCl2 were prepared. An X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the prepared films were partially crystalline in the form of the beta phase PVDF. The measured electron spin resonance spectra were characterized by a main signal (arising from the filler ions) and a superimposed hyperfine pattern (due to free radicals). The temperature (T) dependence of the d.c. magnetic susceptibility exhibited a Curie-Weiss behaviour, in the range of 95-250 K, indicating localized energy states. The detected positive values of the paramagnetic Curie points suggest a ferromagnetic interaction between the magnetic ions at low temperatures. A Pauli paramagnetic temperature independent susceptibility was observed at 250 K less than or equal to T less than or equal to 300 K, implying a role for itinerant energy states. The d.c. electrical resistivity was measured in the temperature range of 300-420 K. The electrical conduction had an interpolaron hopping mechanism. The calculated hopping distance was formulated numerically to be a linear function of the temperature and filling level and found to have a value of less than or equal to 0.62 nm.
