Abstract

A facile self-templating approach for the synthesis of surface-grafted conjugated brushes has been introduced here. Polymeric chains containing acetylene moieties were first grafted from a gold surface and then the side groups were polymerized. After doping the obtained brushes exhibited high conductivity (103 S cm−1) in the vertical direction.
