Bottom-up device fabrication via the seeded growth of polymer-based nanowires

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

the seeded growth method known as "Living crystallisation-driven self-assembly'' and demonstrate that they are capable of spanning an interelectrode gap. Finally, a chemical oxidation step was used to transform the nanofibres into nanowires to generate a two-terminal device. This seeded growth approach of growing well-defined circuit elements provides a useful new design tool for bottom-up device fabrication.
