Cover: Electrical conductivity and interfacial bonding of polypyrrole coatings on polyester were significantly improved by plasma treatment using Ar, N 2 or O 2 gases. The highest level of COOH groups and most uniform nano‐scale surface roughness were achieved by O 2 plasma treatment that gave the highest interfacial bonding and highest conductivity. After 2000 abrasion cycles the O 2 plasma treated sample had lost only ∼7% conductivity while the control had lost ∼36%. Further details can be found in the article by J. Dai et. al. on page 1006 .
