Abstract:Electroactive polymer patterns on a polymeric substrate were fabricated using either a UV lithographic approach or plasma polymerization method. For the lithographic patterning technique, photosensitive thin films comprising polyaniline (PANI) coatings on viologen‐grafted low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) substrates were first prepared. The composite film was subsequently exposed to UV irradiation through a mask. Under UV irradiation, reactions between PANI and viologen occurred, resulting in the conversion of t… Show more
