A method of forming a highly oriented, conductive polymer film on at least one surface of a base in the following manner. Either an electrolyte/organic substance thin layer comprising a conductive high-molecular monomer, a supporting electrolyte, and a (nonaqueous) organic solvent or an electrolyte/aqueous solution thin layer comprising electrolytically polymerizable organic molecules, a supporting electrolyte, and pure water is formed on a liquid-phase lower layer in a liquid vessel. A conductive base which serves as an anode and has been immersed beforehand in the liquid phase is pulled perpendicularly upward from the liquid phase at an extremely low and constant rate while applying an electric field to the anode and a metallic counter electrode to thereby conduct electrolytic polymerization. Namely, a thin film of a polymerizable organic layer forming a conductive polymer film is formed and this thin polymerizable organic layer is deposited on a base surface in an oriented state, and an electric field is applied to the anode and the cathode while moving the base to conduct electrolytic oxidative polymerization. Thus, a thin conductive polymer film oriented in one direction is formed on an oxide coating film. |
