Wu C.-Y.Hsieh H.-P.Chen S.-T.Liu T.-Y.Chen H.-Y.2019-05-222019-05-22201807437463https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/409831An electrically induced bottom-up process was introduced for the fabrication of multifunctional nanostructures of polymers. Without requiring complicated photolithography or printing techniques, the fabrication process first produced a conducting template by colloidal lithography to create an interconnected conduction pathway. By supplying an electrical charge to the conducting network, the conducting areas were enabled with a highly energized surface that generally deactivated the adsorbed reactive species and inhibited the vapor deposition of poly-p-xylylene polymers. However, the template allowed the deposition of ordered poly-p-xylylene nanostructures only on the confined and negative areas of the conducting template, in a relatively large centimeter-scale production. The wide selection of functionality and multifunctional capability of poly-p-xylylenes naturally rendered the synergistic and orthogonal chemical reactivity of the resulting nanostructures. With only a few steps, the construction of a nanometer topology with the functionalization of multiple chemical conducts can be achieved, and the selected deposition process represents a state-of-the-art nanostructure fabrication in a simple and versatile approach from the bottom up. ? 2018 American Chemical Society.journal article10.1021/acs.langmuir.7b040082-s2.0-85045544629https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85045544629&doi=10.1021%2facs.langmuir.7b04008&partnerID=40&md5=34d35c1332b9ca6ed84b02603f176de9
