研究目的
To develop a convenient strategy for the precise placement of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) on flexible substrates using a photoimmobilization technique.
研究成果
A convenient photoimmobilization technique was developed for precise placement of s-SWCNTs on flexible PET substrates. PFBP demonstrated higher yield in dispersing s-SWCNTs compared to PFO. The method allows for the fabrication of chemically robust patterns from micro to macro scales, promising for applications in flexible electronics and sensors.
研究不足
The method's scalability and compatibility with other substrates beyond PET were not extensively explored. The impact of UV irradiation on the electrical properties of s-SWCNTs in device applications requires further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A polyfluorene-based alternative copolymer (PFBP) containing benzophenone group was designed for selective dispersion of s-SWCNTs. The method involves UV irradiation for photoimmobilization of s-SWCNTs on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
HiPco SWCNTs were used as raw materials. PFBP and PFO were used for comparison in dispersing SWCNTs.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a tip sonicator, UV lamp, SEM, TEM, Raman spectrometer, UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer, etc. Materials include HiPco SWCNTs, PFBP, PFO, PET films, etc.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
SWCNTs were dispersed in toluene with PFBP or PFO, sonicated, and centrifuged. The supernatant was drop-casted on PET films, exposed to UV through photomasks, and rinsed to remove unreacted materials.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
UV-vis-NIR absorption spectra, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, and XPS were used to characterize the dispersion and immobilization of s-SWCNTs.
