Vapor deposition of polymers is known to result in densified thin films, and recent developments have advanced these with interesting fabrication techniques a variety controlled structures other than films. With the advantages chemical modification functionalization polymers, advancements combined both physical properties vapor-deposited obtain anisotropic including layer-by-layer, gradient, hierarchical, porosity, combination above, meaning that produced are functional addressed devised configurations compositions. The main purpose using polymer coatings as tool for surface provide additional decouple natural underlying materials (including metals, oxides/ceramics, glass, silicon, etc.), rendered novel insights into fulfill increasing needs sophisticated requirements users. review herein intends deliver messages progress discussions variations functionalities, how two aspects integrated techniques. vapor now capability anisotropy structure composition expected pave way interface engineering toward prospective material designs.
