Proceedings

Electrodeposition of an electroactive polymer and subsequent polymerization of monomers is a novel route to anchor polymer chains to electrode surfaces.

A colloquium paper in EPJE reports the combination of the so-called “grafting through” approach and the formation of conjugated polymer networks. This tandem approach makes it possible to obtain films with double or multi-component polymer systems. Moreover it’s versatile as it enables deposition on any conducting surface.

These types of films are useful for distinct polymer multilayers made of electro-optically active conducting polymers and insulating vinylic and functional polymers that are chemically bound. Such films have potential applications in display devices, sensors, anti-corrosion coatings, controlled wetting surfaces, and anti-static materials.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
