Abstract
The present paper discusses experimental results obtained during the i nvestigations of electron instabilities in the thin films of poly(3,3' -phthalidylidene-4,4'-biphenylylene) (PPB). A common feature for all t hese phenomena is that they are characterized by the dielectric-metal phase transition which is initiated by external effects of abnormally low values. The latter include uniaxial pressure, electric field, and temperature. Possible mechanisms of electron instabilities in thin pol ymer films are discussed.
