title: Hydrogel-mediated direct patterning of conducting polymer films with multiple surface chemistries.
abstract: A new methodology for selective electropolymerization of conducting polymer films using wet hydrogel stamps is presented. The ability of this simple method to generate patterned films of conducting polymers with multiple surface chemistries in a one-step process and to incorporate fragile biomolecules in these films is demonstrated.
