The effects of Brownian motions on the electrical conductivity and optical transparency of two-dimensional films filled with needle-like particles (needles) have been investigated, using the Monte-Carlo method. The initial state of the system was produced with the use of the random-sequential adsorption process. In the subsequent evolution (aging) of the system, the translation and rotation diffusion motions are taken into account. The intersections between needles are forbidden. The interaction potential between needles is short-range (i.e., it is nonzero at distances less than Rc) and is dependent on the angle between needles ф(∝ cos2 ф). The aging results in the formation of island, net-like, and hole-like (with significant cavities) structures depending on parameters of the interaction potential. The relations between the electrical conductivity and the optical transparency during the aging are discussed.
