Notes:
The abrupt decrease of electric resistance of thin polymer dielectric films and metal-polymer compositions has been observed in the course of their uniaxial compression. At pressures exceeding the critical one the conductivity of some metal-polymer compositions has been found to be as high as that for such metals as titanium. The dependences of specimen resistance on thickness, temperature and uniaxial pressure strongly support a new mechanism fo polymer dielectric conductivity based on the pressure induced injection of current carriers from a metal to the dielectric conduction band.
