We report a novel method of confining a photoconducting liquid crystalline material using a polymer templating approach. The attractive feature of this approach is that the magnitude of the photocurrent of the photoconducting material does not diminish, i.e. it is unaltered by the polymer matrix. The results are compared with another method of encapsulation that was recently reported and wherein the photoconductivity decreases upon having the photoconducting material in the polymer matrix. The difference in the behaviour between the two methods is explained using a nanophase segregation model. The method described is particularly suitable for creating patterned photoconductors. 相似文献
The conducting characteristics of samples of a sandwich structure with films based on the photoconducting polymer poly-N-epoxypropylcarbazole doped with cationic, anionic, cationic–anionic, neutral, and bipolar organic dyes were investigated. It was shown that the conductivity of the samples is caused by ion drift, thermofield generation of holes from uncontrollable impurity centers, thermofield generation of electrons and holes from the dopant molecules, and thermofield injection of electrons and holes from the electric contacts. The contribution from the injection currents of the charge carriers increases in the transition from a cationic dye to anionic, cationic–anionic, and intraionic dyes. 相似文献
Polyvinylcarbazole was chloromethylated then condensed with Na salt of Disperse Red-1. The produced new polymer.,Disperse Red-1 bonded HVK(PVK-DR1) was characterized. The photoconductivity and electro-optical coefficient were measured using a thin film fabricated from the polymer. The result shows that the film is photoconducting electro-optical active. The photoconductivity is electric field dependent. When the applied voltage was 100 to 200 mV/M, the pholocurrent was 1 to 188 nA, and photoconductivity was 6 to 241×10-13S·cm-1, quantum efficient was 0.18% to 5%. Electro-optical efficient was 1.3 pm/V. 相似文献
To fabricate ferroelectric ultrathin polymer films with large dielectric constants for potential all‐organic electronic devices, ferroelectric polymer nanotubes and a composite of the nanotubes with a dispersed organic semiconductor have been fabricated by template‐assisted methods. The ferroelectricity drops markedly in spin‐coated ultrathin films less than 100 nm thick, whereas P(VDF‐TrFE) nanotubes with a wall thickness of a few ten nm sustain ferroelectricity. The composite nanotubes exhibit a giant dielectric constant as a result of significantly enhanced interface polarization between the nanosized fillers and the polymer matrix. They could be of practical use in supercapacitors, optoelectronic devices, and sensors.
The reaction of vapors of organic liquids with films of carbon-chain polymers was studied on piezoelectric quartz resonators.
Physicochemical characteristics of sorption processes in the system vapor-film sorbent were determined in the region obeying
Henry’s law. It was concluded that divinyl-styrene polymer can be used in piezoelectric chemical sensors for environmental
control of trace organic toxicants. 相似文献
Polymer coatings are applied in many kinds of chemical sensors. The interaction with organic vapours changes the physical
properties of the coating material. For optical sensors, changes in the coating volume and the complex refractive index are
most important. Spectroscopic ellipsometry has been applied for the first time to the in-situ characterization of thin poly(dimethylsiloxane)
films in contact with tetrachloroethene, toluene and cyclohexane vapours. The differences in bulk refractive index between
organic solvent and polymer are large for toluene and tetrachloroethene and both effects were studied separately. Cyclohexane
has a bulk refractive index very close to the investigated poly(dimethylsiloxane) films. Therefore the calculation of the
volume fraction of the analyte in the mixture phase with the polymer is subject to large errors for vapour concentrations
below 5000 ppm.

Simple conducting polymer–polyaniline-based sensors/biosensors, working either in potentiometric or UV/Vis spectrophotometric
mode, are proposed. Disposable sensors were produced by coating polyaniline layers, cast from aqueous dispersion of the polymer
nanoparticles, on a transparent plastic polyacetate foil. In the potentiometric mode, polyaniline layers are sensitive to
a number of metal cations, while in UV/Vis mode, changes of absorbance were recorded only in case of a chemical reaction of
cations with the polymer. Pronounced sensitivity of tested sensors to ammonia was used for potentiometric/spectrophotometric
biosensing purposes studied on a model example of urease-based sensors of urea. The highest sensitivity and reproducibility
of such sensors were observed in urea concentration ranging from 1 to 10 mM. 相似文献
The design and synthesis of porous organic polymers for the potential application in chemical sensors remains a huge challenge nowadays. Herein, a porous organic polymer possessing tetrazole groups(TTZ-3) was synthesized via simple Schiff base chemical reaction. Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR), solid-state13C cross polarization/magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance(CP/MAS NMR), transmission electron microscopies(TEM) and field-scanning electron microscopies(FE-SEM) were adopted to cha-racterize the structure and morphology in detail. Significantly, the formed polymers exhibited special detection of unsaturated hydrocarbons through fluorescence enhancement based on photoactivatable 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Furthermore, the reaction activity of different unsaturated hydrocarbons towards the polymers was investigated. This work highlights the great potential of porous organic polymers as chemical sensors in realizing environmental pollution monitoring and reducing the incidence of disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 相似文献
Graft copolymers with a conducting polymer backbone are a promising class of materials for diverse applications including, but not limited to, organic electronics, stimuli‐responsive surfaces, sensors, and biomedical devices. These materials take advantage of the unique electrochemical and optoelectronic properties of conducting polymers, complemented by chemical and/or physical properties of the grafted sidechains. In this Personal Account, we discuss our work in designing functional surfaces based on graft copolymers with a conducting polymer backbone, in the context of broader developments in the field. We review the synthetic approaches available for the rational design of conducting‐polymer‐based graft copolymers, and examine the types of functional surfaces and soluble materials that may be engineered using these techniques.
