Conductive polymers belong certainly to the most promising materials in current research.
They have a high potential for a great variety of different applications as for example for
super capacitors, antistatic coatings for electronic packaging, electrodes for organic LEDs or
for novel types of sensors. Although conductive polymers have a long history, there is still a
large need for simple, environmental friendly, scalable deposition techniques that guarantee
a good adhesion and an exact control of thickness and surface morphology. This contribution
will deal with plasma based polymersation processes in aniline containing discharges.
Aniline (C6H7N, prototypical aromatic amine) is a monomer used in industry e.g. for the
production of polyurethane precursors, but also for the production of polyaniline which was
one of the first conducting polymers used in practice. This contribution will present some
results concerning the formation of nanoparticles and the deposition of thin films in a
capacitively coupled discharge operated in mixture of argon and aniline.
