Abstract

A method for making conjugated polymers. The method includes flash evaporating a conjugated material forming an evaporate, passing the evaporate to a glow discharge electrode creating a glow discharge conjugated material plasma from the evaporate, and cryocondensing the glow discharge conjugated polymer precursor plasma on a substrate as a condensate and crosslinking the condensate thereon, the crosslinking resulting from radicals created in the glow discharge conjugated material plasma.
