Abstract
We demonstrate electric-field-induced spreading of drops, composed of conducting polymer blend in an aqueous dispersion, on a hydrophobic polymer surface in a confined microchannel geometry. The field-induced wetting characteristics results in a controlled formation of dried-narrow, strips of the conducting polymer. We discuss the formation of such conducting polymer films along with their electrical transport characteristics and potential applications in fabricating lithography-free structures.
