Abstract:Initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) has revolutionized the preparation of high-quality conformal polymer films with excellent control over composition and properties at the nanoscale. It is compatible with over 70 functional monomers. Despite that chemical versatility, side reactions during iCVD are not well understood. For example, chain transfer could happen during the propagation of an important class of monomers that contain nitrogen (N), arresting the polymerization and limiting the molecular weigh… Show more
