Abstract
A two-layered anode (') has a lower layer () including a non-conductive carrier material to which a conductive electrode layer (′) is applied. Non-conductive areas, formed by partial removal of the electrode layer, have a predetermined structure corresponding to the structure of a structured polymer film () to be formed. The anode (′) is connected with a platinum cathode in an electrolyte into which compounds of low molecular weight, preferably monomers of the polymer film (), are introduced. During current flow, a conductive polymer film () of the predetermined structure is formed on conductive areas brought into contact with the electrolyte. A non-conductive substrate layer () is applied to the structured polymer film (). The structured polymer film () adheres to the non-conductive substrate layer () and can be released from the electrode (′) without damaging the electrode.
