TL;DR: A new method to grow conductive polymer (CP) brushes of regioregular head-to-tail poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3AT) via surface-initiated polycondensation of 2-bromo-5-chloromagnesio-3-alkythiophene through surface-InitiatedPolycondensation method, which leads to mechanically robust CP films, stable against delamination.
Abstract: We describe a new method to grow conductive polymer (CP) brushes of regioregular head-to-tail poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3AT) via surface-initiated polycondensation of 2-bromo-5-chloromagnesio-3-alkylthiophene. A simple procedure for the preparation of the Ni(II) macroinitiator by the reaction of Ni(PPh3)4 with photocross-linked poly-4-bromostyrene films was developed. Exposure of the initiator layers to the monomer solution leads to selective chain growth polycondensation of the monomer from the surface, resulting in P3AT brushes in a very economical way. In contrast to the P3AT films prepared by traditional solvent casting methods, our approach leads to mechanically robust CP films, stable against delamination. We believe that our approach will be helpful in the fabrication of all-plastic devices.

TL;DR: In this article, the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of PANI-ABS composites was studied at 101 GHz and it was observed that shielding effectiveness increases with the increase in the loading levels of the conducting polymer doped with hybrid dopants.
