Composites of polyaniline (PANI) with various polymeric matrices as substrates were synthesized by means of diffusion–oxidation of aniline swollen polymeric matrices with FeCl 3 as oxidizer. The conductivity at room temperature, transmittance at 400–800 nm, stability in air, and morphology of PANI composite films depend on the polymerization time, concentration of FeCl 3 , and substrate used. A maximum conductivity at room temperature and the highest transmittance at 500–800 nm can be achieved of 10 −1 S/cm and 70–80%, respectively. The growth mechanism of PANI composite films has been discussed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
