Abstract Nonferric oxidant precursors have the unique advantage of directly polymerizing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-inorganic composites. However, due to limited solubility and unmatched oxidation potentials, most oxidants only produce powders or porous materials. To obtain high-quality films with improved homogeneity controllable particle sizes, should be adaptable high-standard ...

Stretchable conductors and organic electrochemical transistors (OECT) were fabricated from PEDOT:Tos (poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):iron tosylate) nanofibers. The devices prepared by a combination of electrospinning electrode printing followed vapor phase polymerization (VPP). impact both the processing time composition three mixtures on electrospun fiber mats was evaluated scanning electro...

Mesoporous carbons with highly uniform and tunable mesopores were fabricated by one-step vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) using colloidal silica particles as templates and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as a carbon precursor.

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes with highly uniform surface and tunable wall thickness were fabricated by one-step vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) using anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template membranes, and transformed into carbon nanotubes through a carbonization process.

Multidimensional polypyrrole nanotubes (MPPy NTs) were successfully fabricated as chemiresistors on a sacrificial nanofiber template by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) and used to discriminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic gases.

In recent years much work has been conducted in order to create patterned and structured polymer coatings using vapor deposition techniques - not only via post-deposition treatment, but also directly during the deposition process. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures can be achieved via various vapor deposition strategies, for instance, using masks, exploiting surface properties tha...
