TLDR
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans polyacetylene, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.Abstract:

Low potential electrochemical syntheses of heteroaromatic conducting polymers in a novel solvent system based on trifluroborate–ethyl ether
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the specific electrical resistance across the HCP film thickness is more than 104 times larger than that along the film plane and that the transport of charge is mainly along the conjugated chains, dominating interchain hopping modes.
