In this study, we introduce indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films grown by using a low-frequency magnetron sputtering method (LFMSM). Characteristics of the ITO thin films deposited on polyethersulfone (PES) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates are investigated. Experiments were carried out as a function of deposition time. ITO thin films on polymer substrates revealed amorphous structure. The optical, the electrical and structural properties of the films on PES substrate are better than those on PET substrates.

CdS thin films on polymer substrates such as polycarbonate(PC) and polyethylene terephthalat(PET) have many merits such as light weight, small volume and can make the obtained devices folded, easily carried. In present work, CdS thin films on glass, PC, and PET substrates have been prepared by chemical bath deposition. The structural and optical propertied of the films depending on substrate types have been investigated.

We have fabricated insulating thin films using p-hexadecoxyphenol(p-Hp) that was formed phenol-formaldehyde resin of crosslinked structure from reaction with formaldehyde by LB technique. For fabricated MIM device, the possibility for insulating layers of electronic were investigated by electrical properties of their LB films according to crosslinking of LB films current-voltage (I-V) properties and frequency-capacitance (C-F) characteristics. We have provided evidence for the high insulating performance of phenol-formaldehyde thin films by the LB method. Conductivity of their LB films was as follows: pure water > 1 % aq. Formaldehyde > heat treatment, in the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. It is demonstrated that insulation properties of crosslinked p-HP LB films were improved. In capacitance-frequency properties, the heat-treated p-HP LB films for crosslinking showed a low relative dielectric constant.

We prepared ZnO:Al (AZO) thin films on polycarbonate (Pc) and polyethersulfon (PES). Because the polymer substrate has weak thermal resistance. The AZO thin films were deposited at room temperature by facing targets sputtering (FTS) method In the work, AZO thin films were deposited with different thickness in 1mTorr and $O_2$ gas flow rate 0.05. The electrical, optical and crystallographic properties were measured From the results, the resistivity of $7.3{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and transmittance of over 80% in visible range were obtained.

We have developed a novel method for patterning functional images in thin polymer films. The key materials we utilized for the imaging were dihydroxyanthraquinones protected with acid-labile tert-butoxycarbonyl (t-Boc) blocking groups. Among the tested compounds, 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone (quinizarin; 1) underwent the most drastic change in terms of its color and fluorescence upon protection. We prepared the t-Boc-protected quinizarin and polymers bearing the protected quinizarins as pendent groups. To investigate the possibility of a single-component imaging system, we synthesized a styrenic monomer 14 incorporating protected quinizarin and a maleimide derivative 15 bearing a photoacid generating group and subjected them to polymerization. Selective removal of the protecting groups of the quinizarin moieties in the exposed area using photolithographic techniques allowed regeneration of quinizarin and patterned fluorescence images in the polymer films.

This paper reports the combined effects of the triblock copolymer surfactant poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(propylene glycol)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PPG-PEG) and imidazole on the opto-electrical and mechanical properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-based thin films prepared via vapor phase polymerization (VPP) using ferric p-toluenesulfonate as a catalyst. Various PEDOT-based thin films were synthesized using PEG-PPG-PEG and imidazole alone and in combination to compare and correlate their effects on film properties. The improved conductivity of the PEDOT films was higher than $1300S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ when the surfactant and imidazole were used together. The PEG-PPG-PEG chain length was also varied to identify the best conditions for the VPP-based preparation of PEDOT thin films.

Two-dimensional poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films with wavy patterns were studied in order to investigate reversible and irreversible wetting effects. Pre-strained, surface oxidized layers of PDMS were used to form relieved wavy geometries, on which hydrophobic functionalization was carried out in order to produce irreversible wetting effects. Wavy-patterned PDMS films showed time-dependent reversible wetting effects. The degree of surface wettability could be tuned by the choice of wavy groove geometries. And the groove geometries were controlled via $O_2$ plasma treatment and mechanical pre-straining. The pre-strained, buckled PDMS films were applied to the fabrication of hydrophobic polystyrene nano-patterns using colloidal self-assembly, where the colloids were arrayed in two-dimensional way. The wavy polystyrene films were found to be more hydrophobic relative to flat polystyrene films. The grooving methodology used in this study could be applied to enhancing the hydrophobicity of other types of polymeric thin films, eliminating the need for chemical treatment.
