  • METHODS FOR THE VAPOR PHASE DEPOSITION OF POLYMER THIN FILMS
    Publication number: 20180009001
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for forming thin polymeric films on a surface of an article by deposition from the vapor phase. In certain embodiments, the method comprises depositing the polymeric film in situ inside a space or enclosure contained within the article. In other embodiments, the method comprises depositing a film from vapor phase by thermal degradation of an initiator precursor without the need for an external filament.

  • Methods for fabricating devices including photovoltaic devices
    Patent number: 9793479
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods for processing various polymer materials for use in devices, such as photovoltaic devices. In some cases, oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) may be used to process conjugated polymers, including relatively insoluble conjugated polymers. The methods described herein provide processing techniques that may be used to synthesize and/or process polymers, such as unsubstituted thiophene.
