Graphical Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

A simple method for creating patterned conductive multilayered polymer/exfoliated graphite nanoplatelet (xGnP) nanocomposite films is presented, by using the LBL assembly of xGnP and the intact pattern transfer of these films to a substrate. After four bilayers are deposited onto the stamp, conductive patterns can be created on virtually any substrate.
