Polythiophene layers have been grafted onto silicon, iron, platinum and titanium for applications as organic semi‐conducting films on solid surfaces. In general, the adhesion between the polymer films and substrates is insufficient for technical and microelectronic applications. The use of adhesion promoters between substrate and polymer and enables the formation of a strongly bonded composite. The polymers were synthesized by chemical or electrochemical surface polymerization.
