Selective Electrodeposition and Etching on Polymer Brush Template Prepared by Patterned Monolayer Surface Initiated Polymerization

Electrodeposition of polypyrrole (PPy) and etching resistance can be achieved on the same area of a single binary pattern of hydrophilic polymer brush and hydrophobic self-assembled monolayer. In this way, the prepared conducting polymer and the metal microstructures can have the same pattern.
