Abstract
Thin films of plasma-polymerized acrylonitrile (PPAN) were deposited b y plasma polymerization and modified by post pyrolysis and by doping w ith iodine. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrical and opt ical investigations were used to reveal structural changes during the modifications. It was found from XPS studies that iodine forms a weak charge-tranfer complex between iodine and PPAN. These results agree we ll with the electrical and optical results.
