Abstract: The phenomenon of electronic switching in a thin polymer film caused by a change in the boundary conditions at the metal-polymer interface is studied. It is shown that the transition of the polymer into a high-conductivity state can be effected when the metal in which the position of the electrochemical potential changes is spatially separated from the region in the polymer film where electronic switching takes place. This phenomenon is explained using an injection model of the appearance of electrical conduction in a metal—polymer-metal structure.
