Description
Summary:Metal‐containing polymer films are of interest for sensor, magnetic, nonlinear optical, and catalytic applications. This communication describes the preparation of poly(p‐xylylene) coatings incorporating Ge crystals from Ge‐containing paracyclophane monomer. Vapor pyrolysis of the monomer gives copolymer films with Ge fragments, which are thermally decomposed to Ge crystals. This leads to an increase in film conductivity and there is the potential for an application as a humidity sensor.
