Conducting films and methods for forming them

A method comprising:

• electrochemically depositing a base layer of polypyrrole (PPy) on a conductive substrate, the polypyrrole forming only a weak bond with the conductive substrate;
• electrochemically depositing on the base layer a top layer of a conducting polymer selected from the group consisting of polythiophene (PTh), polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT), polyhexylthiophene (PHTh), conducting methyl substituted polyaniline, ethyl substituted polyaniline, methoxy substituted polyaniline, conducting polymer copolymer, and mixtures thereof;
• applying adhesive tape to the top layer;
• peeling the tape off of the substrate, removing the top layer along with the tape, and leaving the base layer in place on the conductive substrate;
• applying the top layer to a different substrate;
• and
• dissolving the tape, leaving the top layer in place on the different substrate.
