Preparation of Electrically Conducting Self-Organized Micro-Hybrid Structures

Abstract

We used a self-organized polymer microhoneycomb structure as a template to form polyaniline structures that contain hexagonal voids. The polyaniline was synthesized in situ and adsorbed spontaneously on a polymer honeycomb structure that was immersed in the solution. Successive adsorption cycles led to thicker polyaniline coating. The characteristic honeycomb structure could be preserved during the process. Electrical measurements showed that the film resistance is the sum of contact and sheet resistance.
