Ks. Schanze et al., PHOTOLITHOGRAPHIC PATTERNING OF ELECTROACTIVE POLYMER-FILMS AND ELECTROCHEMICALLY MODULATED OPTICAL DIFFRACTION GRATINGS, Advanced materials, 8(6), 1996, pp. 531
Research News: Spatial patterning of electroactive films consisting of
redox or pi-conjugated polymers has important implications for the ap
plications of the films, for example in electronic and electro-optic d
evices. New methods for photolithographic patterning of electroactive
films in the plane parallel to the surface of a substrate are presente
d and examples are given of electrochemically switchable optical diffr
action gratings constructed from such films.
