ABSTRACT:
A two-layered anode (1′) has a lower layer (2) including a non-conductive carrier material to which a conductive electrode layer (3′) 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 (11) to be formed. The anode (1′) is connected with a platinum cathode in an electrolyte into which compounds of low molecular weight, preferably monomers of the polymer film (11), are introduced. During current flow, a conductive polymer film (11) of the predetermined structure is formed on conductive areas brought into contact with the electrolyte. A non-conductive substrate layer (13) is applied to the structured polymer film (11). The structured polymer film (11) adheres to the non-conductive substrate layer (13) and can be released from the electrode (1′) without damaging the electrode.
