Abstract

We investigated a great number of polymer materials. The parameters affecting on its emission properties (namely, film thickness, temperature of polymer preparation. metal substrates and so on) were studied. We observed that emission distributed overfull polymer surface, with current densities up to several hundreds ${\mu}A/cm^2$. Some polymer samples have shown high current emission properties up to 50 ${\mu}A$ in DC and more then 1.5 mA in sinusoidal regimes.
