Abstract:
We report for the first time that polydiacetylenes (PDAs) can be alternatively prepared via a plasma induced polymerization process. The degree of polymerization and colorimetric transitions could be manipulated by controlling the power of plasma radiofrequency, exposure time and by using an acrylic mask, resulting in their great potential for patterning applications.
