Abstract
Cracking or fracture of the film remains a major issue during the formation of non-planar HC films, resulting in poor reproducibility. Methodologies that enable HC films to be reproducibly prepared over large imperfect surfaces (e.g., non-planar surfaces) will facilitate commercial uptake of this micro-fabrication technique to a wide variety of surfaces. Therefore, the development of strategies for the fabrication of regularly patterned films on rough surfaces and the ability to select precursors from a wide range of polymers with varied composition will significantly expand the scope of applications where HC films can be applied.
