TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The first functional group and the second functional group react via a reaction such as cycloaddition reaction (preferred), nucleophilic substitution reaction-ring opening reaction; carbonyl reaction of the non-aldol type, and addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds. The cycloaddition reaction is a (1,3)-dipolar cycloaddition and a (2,4)-cycloaddition (Diels-Alder). The first functional group is alkyne, azide (preferred), ketone, hydrazine, diene and/or dienophile. The second functional group is alkyne. The polymer has a bis 1,4-diethyl-benzene derivative of formula (I). The polymer is formed by pyrolysis and chemical vapor deposition polymerization of tricyclo-hexadeca-hexaene compound of formula (II). The compound or precursor species is sublimed at 90-110degrees C, pyrolyzed at a temperature of greater than 650degrees C at 0.5 mbar, and polymerized at a temperature of 0-25degrees C at 0.5 mbar.R1 = H, C?=CH, C?=CR, ketone, hydrazine, diene and/or dienophin;R = alkyl group defined by CnH2n+1 (where n is 3-8);R2 = H, C?=CH, C?=CR, ketone, hydrazine, diene and/or dienophin;R = alkyl group defined by CnH2n+1 (where n is 3-15);m, n = 0-150; andr = 1-2000.Preferred Method: The precursor species that forms the polymer is sublimed or pyrolyzed, before applying the polymer. The method further comprises applying a catalyst to the substrate after the polymer is applied prior to the reacting. The applying of the catalyst is conducted by contacting one or more regions of a template surface having catalyst disposed on it with the applied polymer on the substrate. The applying comprises applying the catalyst and a catalyst reductant to the applied polymer. The first polymer comprises the first polymer group is applied to a first substrate and the target molecule having the second functional group is applied to a second substrate, where the first functional group is reacted with the second functional group to a robust bond between the first substrate with the second substrate. EXAMPLE - Di-ethynyl(2,2)paracyclophane (50 mg) was sublimed at 90-110degrees C and carried into the pyrolysis chamber by argon at a flow rate of 20 sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute). A pressure of 0.5 mbar was used. The pyrolysis temperature appears to impact the resulting polymer composition. The polymer is deposited on the substrate at 15degrees C to give polymer composition.
