Nanosize metal particles in poly(p-xylylene) films obtained by low-temperature codeposition

Abstract
A method of preparing polymer materials containing nanometre-scale metal particles has been developed, involving low-temperature techniques. In particular the codeposition of several metal vapours (Mg, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ag) with pxylylene on surfaces cooled by liquid nitrogen results in the formation of poly(p-xylylene) films containing metal particles that are typically 3–8 nm in diameter.
