The effect of interfibrillar interaction on the charge transport of doped polyacetylene is investigated by studying the high field magnetoconductivity of iodine doped helical polyacetylene. The zero-field resistivity ratio, (rho)_r = rho(1.2 K)/rho(300 K). is comparable to that of stretch-oriented high-density polyacetylene, which indicates the partial alignment of chains inside a polymer fiber. At low magnetic fields, the small negative component of magnetoconductivity was observed and its magnitude increases as the (rho)_r value increases. In the high field region, the magnetoconductivity is positive and it clearly shows the linear dependence on the magnetic field up to H = 30 T. The linear field dependence of magnetoconductivity is different from what is expected in the three-dimensional weak localization picture. For the same (rho)_r value samples, the magnitude of negative magnetoconductivity of S-polyacetylene is much bigger than that of R-polyacetylene, which could be attributed to the difference in the degree of helicity determining the strength of interfibrillar interaction.
