Abstract

We have demonstrated a method to rapidly and reliably fabricate arrays based on the self-assembled morphology of block copolymer ultra thin films. An ordered, nanoporous structure obtained from the block copolymer thin films is used a template for the subsequent electrodeposition of conducting polymer nanomushrooms of polypyrrole (PPy). The influence of current density, deposition charge and morphology of the templates and nanostructured conducting polymer coatings has been investigated. The electrical properties of the polymer coatings were studied.
