TL;DR: Investigation of Initiated-CVD shows successful results in terms of rationally designed micro- and nanoengineered materials to control molecular interactions at material surfaces for organic conducting and semiconducting polymers.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of iCVD-treated electrospun poly(trimethyl hexamethylene terephthalamide) (PA6(3)T) fiber membranes with fiber diameters ranging from 0.25 to 1.8 μm were tested for desalination using the air gap membrane distillation configuration.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based capacitors with different amounts of carboxylic groups was investigated using a surfactant free method.

TL;DR: The results for permeate flux and salt rejection show that it is possible to construct membranes for membrane distillation even from intrinsically hydrophilic materials after surface modification by iCVD and that the fiber diameter is shown to play an important role on the membranes distillation performance in terms of permeate fluid, salt rejection, and liquid entry pressure.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of the major CVD polymerization techniques and the recent progress of their applications in devices and device fabrication are discussed, with emphasis on initiated CVD (iCVD) and oxidative CVD [oCVD] polymerization.
