In the following work by means of matrix synthesis the nanowire arrays of Fe–Ni alloy with elemental compo­
sition close to permalloy (Fe0⋅20Ni0.80) were obtained. In capacity of matrix the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 
track membranes with angular distribution of pores within the range of ±30◦ and the diameter of pores in 100 
nm were used. As a result, via electrochemical deposition method the metal-polymer composite in the form of 
nanowire arrays in the polymeric matrix were obtained. The distribution of pores over the surface of track 
membranes and the average amount of nanowire intersections under a variety of lengths of the grown nanowires 
were calculated. The resistivity of metal-polymer composite arrays, formed with nanowires of varying length, 
was measured. The growth boundary conditions and the lengths of nanowire arrays that are essential for 
obtaining of conducting metal-polymer composite were determined.
