Direct fast Patterning of conductive polymers using agarose stamping
A simple and versatile new method for fast micropatterning of conductive polymers has been demonstrated. Features sizes down to 2 mu m have been realized in a conductive polymer (PEDOT) using a gel stamp impregnated with hypochlorite. The stamp is molded in bas-relief which enables spatially selective transfer of a chemical deactivation agent from the stamp to the conductive polymer in areas of contact.
