摘要：The present work was made to study the electrical conductivity of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) thinfilms. The thickness of the sample thin films of the order of 100-250 microns. The electrical conductivity values ofPET thin films dependence on its physical and chemical properties. The main aim of this work is finding the Resistivityvalues of the PET thin films; from this we can calculate the electrical conductivity of the polymer material (inverse ofResistivity is conductivity). In this study the electrical conducting properties of polymer polyethylene terephthalate hasbeen investigated by using a four-probe apparatus because of its importance in industrial applications. The dependenceof DC (direct current) surface resistance on thickness was measured using this method. The surface resistance exhibitsthe size effect in accordance with the sample (PET) material. The readings are taken with different combinationmaterials such as copper, aluminum carbon strips etc. According to this study suggests that possibility of using PETthin films in electronic components (capacitors, resistors, etc) that operate at temperature dependence applications andthis classification not only for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) thin films but also for the other polymer materials
