New nanodispersed metallopolymer (Ag, Na, Mg, Pb, Mn, Ca, Sm) films have been obtained via low temperature codeposition of metal and reactive paraxylylene monomer vapours at 100 K. Electric conductivity of the films were studied during the components codeposition,upon the samples annealing at 80-300 K and maintaining rat constant temperature. With a rise in nanoparticle concentration in the polymer matrix, the conductivity tends to increase. The conductivity may be determined by tunnel transfer of charge carriers from one nanoparticle to another through a thin dielectric layer (up to 50 nm) of polymer matrix.
