Abstract
Magnetic levitation of diamagnetic materials provides a quasi-microgravity condition and allows containerless processing of levitating materials. Containerless melting and solidification of paraffin was carried out with magnetic levitation furnaces and successfully prepared a spherical sample with magnetic orientation of paraffin molecules. In order to control functions of conducting polymers, magnetic fields were applied to electropolymerization processes. It was found that the magneto-electropolymerization induced chirality in polyaniline film, which exhibited enantioselective recognition for L- and D-ascorbic acids.
