a Sketch of the thin film thickness measurement by the environmental nanoindentation method. dfilm (dITO) denotes the travel displacement of the tip when the contact between the tip and the film (ITO) is detected. b Thickness of PProDOT in the pristine and oxidized states. The upper panel shows tip displacement measured by targeted indentation. The lower panel shows the tip displacement in the x-direction measured by the scratch test. For both methods, the step height denotes the thickness of the film. c A volumetric strain εV in the range of 20–30% is determined for PProDOT upon oxidation using the scratch and targeted indentation methods.
