Metal‐containing poly (p‐xylylene) films by CVD: Poly (p‐xylylene) with germanium crystals

Abstract: Metal‐containing polymer films are of interest for sensor, magnetic, nonlinear optical, and catalytic applications. This communication describes the preparation of poly(p‐xylylene) coatings incorporating Ge crystals from Ge‐containing paracyclophane monomer. Vapor pyrolysis of the monomer gives copolymer films with Ge fragments, which are thermally decomposed to Ge crystals. This leads to an increase in film conductivity and there is the potential for an application as a humidity sensor.

“…The use of PECVD polymer films to form composites has been extensively studied, especially with respect to polymer‐metal composites 26. Metal and semiconductor nanoparticles have also been incorporated into CVD poly( p ‐xylylene) 495–500. The CVD polymerization methods provide control over particle size and agglomeration, which are essential to the physical and chemical properties of the composite 497.…”

“…Incorporating Mn and Mg into CVD poly( p ‐xylylene) formed optically adsorbing complexes, while incorporating Ag did not 495, 498. A similar method, using cyclophanes with an organogermanium bridge, was used to obtain poly( p ‐xylylene) films with incorporated Ge crystals after thermal treatment to break the organogermanium bond 496. Curing of VDP poly(imide) films embedded with copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) resulted in small crystals of CuPc 502.…”

“…The technologically most promising method of obtaining such polymer composites is vapor deposition of metal-monomer systems followed by polymerization of the monomer and inclusion of the metal into the matrix. Dimethylgermanium-bridged bis-cyclo-phane 145 has been used to prepare a poly(p-xylylene) film that contains Ge crystals [94]. At 550°C the compound is converted into highly reactive p-xylylenes 146 and 147.…”

“…metal-containing polymer films are attractive for sensor, magnetic, nonlinear optical and catalytic applications [1]. As recently reviewed [2±4], molecular ferromagnets have great potential in areas of technology such as low-frequency magnetic shielding, magnetic imaging, magneto-optics and infor-mation storage, the ultimate goal being the synthesis of chemically stable molecular ferromagnets with a critical temperature (T c ) well above room temperature together with optimized magnetic characteristics [4].…”
