surface modification by grafting desired functional
polymers
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is a technique
used to obtain a thin polymer film, typically
performed by evaporating monomers under
ultrahigh vacuum conditions and depositing a film
on a target substrate.

POLYMERIZATION VIA VAPOR DEPOSITION: WHAT WE HAVEPOLYMERIZATION VIA VAPOR DEPOSITION: WHAT WE HAVE
Do not use:
• plasma
• an initiator specie (thermal initiator/photo initiator)
• an oxidative specie.
• VDP
• both monomers enter the chamber simultaneously
• MDP
• sequential, alternating sequence of monomers for better control over film growth.
• an oxidative specie.
POLYMERIZATION VIA VAPOR DEPOSITION: THE YOUNGERPOLYMERIZATION VIA VAPOR DEPOSITION: THE YOUNGER
Initiated The heated gas surrounding the
filaments creates the reactive species while the
cooled substrate promotes the absorption of
these species onto the growth surface
Oxidative the oxidant and monomer are
delivered to the substrate through the vapor
phase. Adsorption and spontaneous reaction
proceed directly on the substrate. No additional
excitation of reactants is required

Acrylate polymer films
(iCVD)
Large increases in adhesion strength are consistentlyobserved. With this grafting technique, nanometer-scale(down to 60 nm) PEDOT patterns can be obtained on flexiblesubstrates.
When microtrenches are solution coated with acrylatepolymers, the coating is non-conformal (f), ascompared to conformal iCVD acrylate coating (g)
Non&planar substrates having micro&and/or nano&scale features.
conformal coatings
• polymeric thin films displaying uniform thickness over the geometric features present in the substrate.
CVD CVD POLYMERSPOLYMERS APPLICATIONSAPPLICATIONS
Synthetic control over the functional groups displayed at the surfaces
• surface attachment of fluorescent dyes, bioactive molecules, and inorganic nanoparticles.
• copolymerization with monomers with multiple vinyl groups results in controllably cross-linked filmswhich are resistant to solvent damage yet remain mechanically flexible.which are resistant to solvent damage yet remain mechanically flexible.
• coat microparticles to encapsulate them for controlled release, and change their surface chemistry.
