Abstract

In this research, we demonstrate for the first time the in-situ polymerization and the mechanical characterization of metallopolymer wires by MEMS Silicon Nanotweezers. Metallopolymers have interesting semiconductor characteristics that can be tuned by polymerization conditions. The reported method allows the experiment of various polymerization conditions with a high versatility such as the metallopolymer properties (electrical, mechanical, and piezoresistive) can be studied and optimized rapidly on demand.
