Abstract
The interface between polyaniline (PANI) and a polymer electrolyte (PAMPS) containing functionalized sulfonate anions (AMPS) presents a particular str ucture (double-strand polymer) allowing the transfer of carriers, even when PANI is oxidized up to an insulating form. The conduction is detected by t he growth of an LR optical absorption. The role of a PANI treatment by m-cr esol is investigated.
