A general and simple approach towards the selective deposition of poly-para-xylylenes is introduced in this communication. The chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of poly-para-xylylenes is inhibited on the high-energy surfaces of electrically charged conducting substrates. This technology provides an approach to selectively deposit poly-para-xylylenes irrespective of the substituted functionality and to pattern these polymer thin films from the bottom up. ?
