Abstract

A process for the production of a layer composition, comprising the process steps: a) provision of a substrate with a substrate surface; b) formation of a stabilized electrically conductive polymer layer on at least a pail of the substrate surface, the formation of the stabilized electrically conductive polymer layer comprising the process steps: b1) formation of an electrically conductive polymer layer comprising an electrically conductive polymer on at least a part of the substrate surface; b2) application of a liquid stabilizer phase, comprising at least one stabilizer and at least one solvent or dispersant, onto the electrically conductive polymer layer obtained in process step b1) for the formation of a stabilizer layer, wherein the at least one stabilizer is a flavonoid. The present invention also relates to a layer composition and to the use of a layer composition.
