A change in electric conductivity of the polyepoxypropylcarbazole-CBr4 poly
mer composition applied onto a vapor-deposited aluminum layer was considere
d. Under exposure to UV radiation, a photochemical reaction resulting in th
e dissolution of aluminum and the formation of organometal complexes in the
bulk of the polymer composition takes place. It was found that the aluminu
m dissolution was inhibited by a positive charge induced on the polymer sur
face by a corona discharge.
