This paper considers a method for determining the type of electrical conductivity of a previously developed composite transparent conductive coating based on oriented platinum networks embedded in the polymer matrix. Many researchers have recently been grappling with finding electrically conductive transparent coatings for smart devices with touch screens, particularly an alternative to the massively used indium tin oxide (ITO) having some disadvantages, the most serious of which is the lack of coating flexibility. The latter can be overcome by using various metal-polymer composites with high transparency in the optical range and low surface resistance. However, one should be aware that the type of conductivity depends on both the polymer matrix and the metal framework of a composite. This defines its electrical properties. Therefore, it is important to correctly identify and measure the electrical conductivity. The developed method is based on studying the temperature dependence of the surface resistance in the material.
