Abstract
We have observed that thin films of polyamidine may exhibit high conductivity in some locations on the polymer surface at low electrical field strength. The conductance which has been tested by spreading resistance mode of an atomic force microscope depended on the type of substrate. We consider that a critical density of charge inside the polymer is needed for its switching to the conductive state. (Β© 2006 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Since its invention twenty years ago the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become one of the most important instruments in colloid and interface science. The ability of tracing force profiles between single particles or particles and flats in liquid environment makes it a tool-of-choice for investig
