Webinar Content
On Tuesday, 05 October 2021, MDPI and the Journal Materials organized their 5th webinar entitled "Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition (iCVD) of Functional Organic Films".

The introduction was held by the Chair of the webinar, Dr. Thomas Strunskus from the Institute for Materials Science at Kiel University, Germany. In the webinar several aspects of iCVD research were covered.

In the first speech of Prof. Dr. Karen K. Gleason, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in USA, the advantages of iCVD for many applications were demonstrated as she showed that iCVD deposition can be very well controlled and is a versatile tool to prepare functional polymer coatings on many different kind of substrates.

The second talk was presented by Dr. Anna Maria Coclite, from Graz University of Technology, Austria. In this presentation the focus was on hydrogels and how they can be used as actuators and in biomedical applications.

The third and final speech was given by Dr. Stefan Schröder, from Kiel University in Germany, and was focused on electrets prepared by iCVD and the preparation of ultra-thin gradient films.

The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
