The IR spectra of modified PA were completely different from that of the initial PA. Further interaction of chalcogenized PA with copper (II/I) salt solution leads to the formation of Cu S, Cu Se, Cu Te, and mixed –Cu S–Cu Se and Cu S–Cu Te layers which have different electric transport x x x x y x y properties. The surface properties of PA after treatment are studied using AFM and XRD. The electrical resistances of layers with various composition formed over a wide concentration range 0.01–0.5 mol ·dm−3 of precursor’s solution were measured. Variation in the conductivity of l
