A slight increases in the chain-chain separation due to the interaction of the MnCl<sub>2</sub> salt with the polycarbonate chains was observed , while a decrease in the optical energy gap (E<sub>opt</sub> ) of the polycarbonate polymer with increasing the salt concentration was detected .However employing impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range 10Hz up to 10<sup>6</sup> Hz. reveals an increase in the dielectric permittivity and conductivity with increasing salt content %K Polycarbonate %K MnCl< %K sub> %K 2< %K /sub> %K salt %K impedance %K optical energy %K electric conductivity %K composites. %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=9034
