Polycrystalline calcium cobalt oxide misfit layered compounds were synthesized by annealing stoichiometric ratios of the powders in a furnace at varying times and temperatures.  The powders were then pressed into a pellet, and again annealed under systematically varied conditions.  X-ray diffraction data were collected for the samples in order to explore the structural dependence on the annealing conditions.  Seebeck coefficients and electrical resistivity were then measured for the different samples, and the influence of the annealing conditions on the electrical properties explored.
