One-step nanopatterning of conjugated polymers by electron-beam-assisted electropolymerization

One-step nanopatterning of conjugated polymers by electron-beam-assisted electropolymerization

We propose a one-step nanopatterning method where liquid monomers are polymerized directly with an electron beam under an atmospheric pressure. The method allows precise positional control of an electron beam that induces electropolymerization based on an anodic oxidation only in the irradiated area...
