The electrochemical coating and filling with conjugated polymers in porous templates were carried out in supercritical fluids. The use of the special properties of the fluids such as higher diffusivity and lower viscosity enabled the effective monomer transport into the porous template and the nanoprecise coating and filling with the polymers.

A novel method has been studied to measure hightemperature water vapor transmission rates (WVTRs) for sealing materials such as epoxy encapsulants. Sealing materials are widely used as electronic components and must be moisture resistant under the damp heat test conditions for electronic components, e.g., 60 ˚C and 85 ˚C. To prevent samples from damage during high-temperature measurements using the conventional cup method, we built a new cup unit with a pressure-adjusting mechanism. This new cup is used to measure WVTRs without damaging the thin epoxy encapsulant membranes (thicknesses of 120-220 μm). Arrhenius plots of the WVTRs for epoxy encapsulants measured by using the new cup exhibit linear relationships between temperatures of 25-85 ˚C.
