Combination of electrografting and layer-by-layer deposition: an efficient way to tailor polymer coatings of (semi)-conductors

This communication reports on a novel, simple and highly versatile concept, which consists in combining the advantages of two complementary and relevant techniques (i) electrografting and (ii) layer-by-layer deposition process with the goal to tailor strongly adhering coatings to (semi)-conducting surfaces imparting them with tunable specific properties.
