<p>A process for the formation of surface conductivity on a substrate comprising treating the substrate with a mixture of a monomer, an oxidant and preferably a performance modifier which can be a solvent which helps the monomer, oligomer and the resulting polymer to diffuse into the structure of the substrate, before substantial reaction between them occurs. Then the monomer and oxidant are allowed to react in contact with and on the surface of the substrate to give the substrate an intrinsically conductive polymeric surface. The monomer for producing the intrinsically conductive polymer layer can, for example, be pyrrolle, and aniline or thiophene, and the substrate is preferably a natural or synthetic polymeric material. The surface of the treated substrate preferable has a conductivity of from 1 to 1011 φ/square and more preferably from 10?2 to 108¿ φ/square.</p> |
