Abstract
The method of reticulate doping previously used to obtain bulk-conducting macromolecular films is modified to yield surface-conducting materials. Morphology and properties of these systems, consisting of a conducting network of CT complex crystallites penetrating the bulk of an inert polymer matrix are briefly described, most of them being supposed to be common for bulk and surface-conducting films. Preparation of surface conducting films is discussed in terms of crystallization of the components of the CT complex initially molecular ly dispersed in the matrix due to a controlled increase of the molecular mobility in the surface layer of the film. Possible mechanisms responsible for the unusual effectiveness of the reticulate doping are discussed.
