Transparent thin films of polyaniline covalently fabricated on flexible polydimethylsiloxane substrates by surface modification with N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)aniline for robust aniline polymerization could alternatively be redoped by proton implantation without incorporating an undesired labile/hygroscopic dopant acid that tends to compromise operation of encapsulated modules or MEMS components developed for flexible display applications.
