Abstract

Abstract : Ultrathin, freestanding polymer hybrid film with macroscopic sizes and molecular thicknesses have received significant interest due to their applications as functional devices, microsensors or nanoactuators. Herein, a 2D Janus hybrid of polymer‐grafted carbon nanotubes/graphene oxide (CNTs/GO) thin film is fabricated using microcontact printed CNTs/GO as photo active surface to grow polymer brushes by self‐initiated photografting and photopolymerization selectively from one side of CNTs/GO film. This achieved 2D Janus hybrid materials with grafted polymer layer as insulative carpet and supported CNTs/GO thin film as conductive element have the potential application as flexible and miniature electric carpet for heating micro‐/nano devices locally. Abstract : A polymeric electrical carpet of 2D Janus hybrid thin film, with grafted polymer layer as insulative carpet and supported carbon materials as conductive element, has the potential application in heating micro‐/nano devices locally.
