Abstract
Communication: Metal-containing polymer films are of interest for sens or, magnetic, nonlinear optical, and catalytic applications. This comm unication describes the preparation of poly(p-xylylene) coatings incor porating Ge crystals from Ge-containing paracyclophane monomer. Vapor pyrolysis of the monomer gives copolymer films with Ge fragments, whic h are thermally decomposed to Ge crystals. This leads to an increase i n film conductivity and there is the potential for an application as a humidity sensor.
