Abstract

This application features a method of forming a polymer layer on the surface of a substrate using a self-initiating monomer. A polymer layer is formed by polymerization of a monomer on a metal layer to fill or cover defects of the metal layer. The metal layer the polymer layer may be used as an airtight material.
