Ultra-thin polymer films containing cobalt(II) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin(CoTPP) have been prepared by vacuum codeposition of the metal complex and trans-2-butene as an organic monomer using an inductively coupled RF glow discharge operating at 7-9 Watts. The polymer films were characterized by sorption measurements. Sorption data obtained for polymer films containing CoTPP indicate that the CoTPP molecules are capable of reversibly binding oxygen molecules. It was found that the adjacent CoTPP molecules in the aggregated metal complex phase could irreversibly share the oxygen molecules. A dispersion of the metal complex molecules in the polymer matrix was made to maintain the reversible reactivity of the metal complex molecules with oxygen in the polymer films via vacuum evaporation process. The Henry mode solubility constant, the Langmuir mode capacity constant, the amount of binding oxygen, and the dissociation equilibrium in the dual mode sorption theory were discussed.

The texture of Al/Ti thin films deposited on low-dielectric polymer substrates has been investigated. Fifty-nm-thick Ti films and 500-nm-thick Al-1%Si-0.5%Cu (wt%) films were deposited sequentially onto low-k polymers and SiO$_2$ by using a DC magnetron sputtering system. The texture of Al thin film was determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) theta-2theta ($\theta$-2$\theta$) and rocking curve and the microstructure of Al/Ti films on low-k polymer and SiO$_2$ substrates was characterized by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). hall thin films deposited on SiO$_2$ had stronger texture than those deposited on low-k polymer. The texture of Al thin films strongly depended on that of Ti films. Cross-sectional TEM resealed that Brains of Ti films on SiO$_2$ substrates had grown perpendicular to the substrate, while the grains of Ti films on SiLK substrates were farmed randomly. The lower degree of 111 texture of Al thin films on low-k polymer was due to Ti underlayer.

Thin films of poly(vinyl cinnamate) (PVCi) were prepared on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass and silicon substrates by conventional spin coating and subsequent drying process. The thicknesses of the films ranged 50-120 nm. The films' surface was treated by rubbing, ultraviolet exposure or their combinations in various ways with changing rubbing strength and exposure dose. These films were examined in detail in the aspects of surface morphology and chain orientation. Further, the anchoring and orientation behaviors of liquid crystals on the film surfaces were investigated. All the results will be discussed in detail.

The conducting polymer thin films were deposited using the gas phase method which known as molecular layer deposition (MLD). Terephthalaldehyde (TPA) and p-phenylenediamine (PD) were used as monomers to deposit conducting polymer. Self-terminating nature of TPA and PD reaction were demonstrated by growth rate saturation versus precursors dosing time. Infrared spectroscopic and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to determine the chemical composition and state of conducting polymer thin films. Layer by layer growth and polymerization of thin films can be showed by shifting of absorption edge using UV-VIS spectroscopy. This conducting polymer fabricated by using MLD method gives the opportunity to develop new hybrid materials by combining inorganic materials in nanoscale.

Plasma can be used to various applications such as sterilization, inactivation/removal of microorganisms, wound healing, tooth bleaching, cancer treatment, surface modification and plasma polymerization. In this research, we studied the effect of plasma irradiation on the structural, optical, and biological properties of the polymer films. Several polymers were synthesized and then deposited on the glass substrates. The polymer films were treated by oxygen and nitrogen plasmas. Plasma-treated films were investigated by contact angle, infrared absorption spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Functional materials were prepared on plasma-treated surface, and their performances were investigated using various techniques. Next, we discuss relationship between the performance of functional materials and the structural properties of plasma-treated polymer films.

In this study we fabricated thin organic polymer films on the comb-electrode by plasma polymerization methode in electrode gas flow type reactor. The dielectric constant of polymer films were increased by increasing relative humidity and we used free volume theory in order to explain the mechanism of water absorption phenomena of polymer films.

In this studying, we investigated the basic properties of N-doped plasma polymer. The N-doped ethylcyclohexane plasma polymer thin films were deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Ethylcyclohexenewas used as organic precursor (carbon source) with hydrogen gas as the precursor bubbler gas. Additionally, ammonia gas [NH3] was used as nitrogen dopant. The as-grown polymerized thin films were analyzed using ellipsometry, Fourier-transform infrared [FT-IR] spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, FE-SEM, and water contact angle measurement. The ellipsometry results showed the refractive index change of the N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer film. The FT-IR spectrashowed that the N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer films were completely fragmented and polymerized from ethylcyclohexane.

Polymer thin films were prepared by capacitively coupled plasma polymerization process for application of gate insulator. The polymer thin films revealed to form polymer layers with original properties of the monomer. Among the plasma polymer thin films, the styrene polymer having large number of phenyl sites revealed higher dielectric constant of k=3.7 than that of conventional polymer. The plasma polymerized styrene thin film revealed no hysteresis characteristics and low leakage current density of $1{\times}10^{-8}[Acm^{-2}]$ at field strength of $1[MVcm^{-1}]$, which measured by I-V and C-V measurements using MIM and MIS devices.

This report demonstrates the immobilization of uniformly sized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on UV cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) polymer thin films and the preparation of micropatterned structures of AuNPs on these films. The polymer thin films were prepared by a spin-coating of P4VP onto a cleaned silicon wafer surface. Upon UV irradiation, these films were then photo cross-linked. Gold nanoparticles were immobilized by immersing the polymer surface in a colloidal solution of gold nanoparticles stabilized by citric acid. The morphology of the films and the immobilization of AuNPs were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV-visible spectroscopic techniques. The micropatterned gold structures that were produced on the polymer surface are delineated by combining with the photolithographic method. While untreated and simply spin coated films were physisorbed and unstable that could be easily removed by rinsing with a solvent, the cross-linked and AuNPs immobilized P4VP films were found to be highly stable even after repeated solvent extractions.

Molecularly imprinted polymer thin films were applied to develop a gas sensor based on the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon for small gaseous molecules such as toluene and xylene. The imprinted polymer films were synthesized via photo-polymerization method using various combination of templates, functional monomers and cross-linkers. The temperature of pre-polymerization solutions and the power of UV light were controlled for optimized performance of gas sensing. The morphology and porosity of the polymer films were controlled by varying the mixing ratios of the pre-polymerization solutions and confirmed by atomic force microscopy. By fitting the adsorption/desorption sensorgrams to conventional kinetic models, the effects of different templates and cross-linkers were interpreted in term of the structural differences of the polymer networks formed on the gold film. The sensitivity and selectivity of sensors were estimated for toluene and xylene, and also for humidity and other gaseous molecules such as formaldehyde and ammonia.
