| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, a new synthetic methodology based on an electrochemical reaction has been developed for fabricating a polymer-composite film. Specifically, two different kinds of a polymer were synthesized in one-pot reaction process including the simple switching process by applying an oxidative and reductive electrochemical stimuli. As a result, each polymer in the obtained film has been laid at a high density on a substrate, which form a hetero-junction interface at the nano level. Moreover, since the simple on-off operation of the electrochemical reaction enable to the control of the starting and stopping of the polymerization, it allows the easy fabrication of a polymer composite thin film in any thickness. This investigation opens the new perspectives for arranging the different types of polymer chains to functionally on the substrate.
