Here we demonstrate that we can functionalize, with π-electron moieties, the end-groups of the molecules, once grafted to the substrate, without disturbing the low conductivity through the SAM (σ⊥), while strongly increasing the in-plane conductivity (σ//). The functionalization of the monolayer is monitored by FTIR, ellipsometry and X ray reflectivity. Conductivity, photoconductivity and capacitance measurements are carried out to study the effect of these chemical functionalizations on the electrical properties of the monolayers. We demonstrate that the low perpendicular conductivity (σ⊥≈10−15 S/cm) is not altered by the end-group functionalities while high anisotropic conductivities (σ///σ⊥ ≈ 107-108) are ...

The interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) architecture used in this work resolves interface and adhesion problems which have been reported for traditional conducting polymer-based actuators. Actuator films 17 μm thick can be obtained and then patterned using microfabrication technologies. IPN-actuators were etched to obtain 2*5mm2 beams operating in air. These micro-sized actuators are potential candidates in numerous low frequency applications, including micro-valves, micro-optical instrumentation and micro-robotics. Moreover, due to the rapid response of our IPN architecture, this material has been considered as the main actuator for the flapping wings of an artificial insect.
