Abstract
Breath figure films of polystyrene and polyalkylthiophene presenting regular patterns of 600 nm and 5 µm are used as templates to prepare negative polydimethylsiloxane stamps containing an entrapped quantity of the primary polymer. These breath figure replica are used to generate single or double layers of the entrapped conjugated polymer in the form of networks on any substrates. Besides this, polystyrene printed in this way can be used as a resist mask that allows the polymerization of aniline in a regular micrometric arrangement on a platinum electrode or to generate a regular acid/base patterning on a plain polyaniline filmI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
