Abstract
Thin films of poly(chloro-p-xylylene) (PPXC) grown by the pyrolysis and evaporation of chloro-[2.2]paracyclophane in an evacuated chamber contain free-standing, slanted, parallel columns that are 50 mum long and are assemblies of 50- to 100-nm-diameter nanowires, which thus can have an unprecedented aspect ratio as high as 1000:1. The nanostructured thin films organize spatially with a chemical structure similar to that of planar PPXC thin films, but the former also possess nanostructured morphology. Nanostructured thin films of poly(p-xylylene) (PPX) and its derivatives shall be useful as functionalized interfaces for antifouling coatings and biomedical devices.
