The incorporation of organic polymeric materials into chemical sensors and electro-optic devices has the potential to greatly advance these fields. A major challenge to their incorporation is the fabrication of thin films due to their intolerance of thermal deposition methods and solvent compatibility challenges. Here, a method for contact printing of quantum dot (QD) and organic polymer (OP) composites for the production of thin-film chemical sensors is described. The method described here allows for the repeatable, low-cost, and relatively simple production of thin films of QD/OP composites for use in chemical sensor arrays by a dry transfer process of the polymer on an elastomer stamp to the sensor substrate.
