Electroless polymerization of aniline on platinum is investigated for polyaniline micro- and nanostructuring into practical electronic devices. This type of reaction is adapted to estimate its usefulness in a lithographic process. For practical electronic device fabrication, electroless polymerization of aniline can be used to electrically bridge initially independent platinum electrodes. As this application requires a polyaniline bridge to form over a nonconductive material before an electrical contact is obtained, polyaniline growth using chemical oxidative reaction is investigated on substrates presenting surface-tension contrast patterns.
