Abstract
When conjugated sites of an electroactive polymer are placed a few angstroms from a metal electrode, carriers flow from the metal to these sites and remain trapped in the negative part of the generalized image force potential. We determine the consequences of this event and calculate explicitly the charge transfer rate from the electrode to the polymer molecules as a function of temperature and electric field.
