Fabrication and Optical and Electrical Properties of Poly(2,5-di-n-butoxyphenylene) Nanowire Arrays

Regular patterned arrays of nanomaterials have been widely fabricated and studied for their benefits in construction of novel type of optical, electron and magnetic device1-2, these kinds of devices center on the inorganic materials. With the development of synthesis and application of new type of polymer material, the design and construction of organic nanopolymer have become a great interest. Poly(p-phenylene)(PPP) and some derivatives have been widely investigated as a candidate for high strength, high temperature and conducting polymers, and can be used as electrode materials in electrochemical cells, blue emitting diodes: The polymers obtained by oxidative coupling polymerization of benzene nuclei with aluminum chloride and copper(Ⅱ) chloride is insoluble in all solvent and inflexible, which hinders revealing their basic properties. Introduction of flexible side chains into the aromatic rings can not only render solubility and processibility, but also improve or modify optical and electrical properties of the polymers. As a further step in assembling method and optoelectronic studies, it is attractive to investigate the properties of photoluminescence and electroluminescene of regular patterned arrays of poly(p-phenylene) deriva-tives nanowires.
