Abstract

A new method is proposed for preparing electrically conducting fine lines in Langmuir-Blodgett films: during transference of arachidic acid L film containing pyrrole monomers to an indium-tin-oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrate, a voltage was applied between the ITO and the platinum counterelectrode dipped in the water subphase. From microscopic observations and conductivity measurements, it was confirmed that conducting filaments of polypyrrole were formed by this new method along the contact line between the substrate and the water surface by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole monomers in an arachidic L film.
