Controlled dispersion of polystyrene‐capped Au nanoparticles in P3HT:PC61BM and consequences upon active layer nanostructure

Numerous recent publications detail higher absorption and photovoltaic performance within organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices which are loaded with Au or Ag nanoparticles to leverage the light management properties of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). This report details the impact upon film morphology and polymer/nanoparticle interactions caused by incorporation of polystyrene‐coated Au nanoparticles (Au/PS) into the P3HT:PC₆₁BM bulk heterojunction film. Nanostructural analysis by transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray scattering reveals tunable Au/PS particle assembly that depends upon the choice of casting solvent, polymer chain length, film drying time, and Au/PS particle loading density. This Au/PS particle assembly has implications on the spectral position of the Au nanoparticle LSPR, which shifts from 535 nm for individually dispersed particles in toluene to 650 nm for particles arranged in large clusters within the P3HT:PC₆₁BM matrix. These results suggest a critical impact from PS/P3HT phase separation, which causes controlled assembly of a separate Au/PS phase in the nanoparticle/OPV composite; controlled Au/PS phase formation provides a blueprint for designing AuNP/OPV hybrid films that impart tunable optical behavior and potentially improve photovoltaic performance. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Effect of Substrate on the Properties of Non-volatile Ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE)/P3HT Memory Devices

Ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE))/semiconducting poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) blend systems have drawn great attention with their potential use for electronic applications, particularly non-volatile memory devices. It is essential to grasp a full understanding of the crystallization habits of the two polymers on different substrates for purposeful control of the structures of the blend and therefore the properties of the devices. Here, the effects of structure and morphology of the blend films generated at different substrate surfaces on the ferroelectric and switching properties of related devices are reported. It is identified that P(VDF-TrFE)/P3HT blend films prepared on graphene substrate show not only an obvious optimization in the ferroelectric behavior of P(VDF-TrFE), but also an enhancement of the charge transport within P3HT domains. By employing sandwich structure constructed by silver electrode and P3HT/P(VDF-TrFE) blend film on graphene substrate, high-performance ferroelectric memory devices have been obtained, which exhibit a great electrical switching behavior with high ON/OFF ratio of about 1000 and low coercive voltage of approximately 5 V. These findings provide useful guidance for fabricating high-performance ferroelectric memory devices.

     

PDMS microchip coated with polydopamine/gold nanoparticles hybrid for efficient electrophoresis separation of amino acids

In this paper, a novel, simple, economical and environmentally friendly method based on in situ chemically induced synthesis strategy was designed and developed for the modification of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchip channel with polydopamine/gold nanoparticles (PDA/Au NPs) to create a hydrophilic and biofouling resistant surface. Dopamine as a reductant and a monomer, and HAuCl(4) as an oxidant to trigger dopamine polymerization and the source of metallic nanoparticles, were filled into the PDMS microchannel to yield in situ a well-distributed and robust PDA/Au NP coating. Au NPs were highly and uniformly dispersed in/on the PDA matrix with a narrow size distribution, as verified by scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis spectra. Compared with the native PDMS microchannel, the modified surfaces exhibited much better wettability, high stability and suppressed electroosmotic mobility, and less nonspecific adsorption towards biomolecules. The water contact angle and EOF of PDA/Au NP-coated PDMS microchip were measured to be 13° and 4.17×10(-4) cm(2)/V s, compared to those of 111° and 5.33×10(-4) cm(2)/V s from the native one, respectively. Fast and efficient separations of five amino acids such as arginine, proline, histidine, valine and threonine suggested greatly improved electrophoretic performance of the PDA/Au NP-functionalized PDMS microchips. This one-step procedure offers an effective approach for a biomimetic surface design on microfluidic chips, which is promising in high-throughput and complex biological analysis.

Crystallization behavior and electroactive properties of PVDF,P(VDF-TrFE) and their blend films

PVDF, poly(vinylidene fluoride), as a semi-crystalline polymer, has interesting electroactive properties but usual melt and solution processing techniques result in its thermodynamically favored non-polar α-phase. By comparison, poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) P(VDF-TrFE), PT for short, directly crystallizes in the polar β-phase under the same conditions as PVDF. In this study, blend thin films comprising PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) were prepared by solvent casting method. The difference in the crystallization behavior is comprehensively investigated between the polymers: PVDF, P(VDF-TrFE), and the resulting blend films. It is found that replacement of the fluoride atom in TrFE monomer induces a strong steric hindrance that may alter the crystallization process to become more favorable for nucleation of the PVDF β-phase. To figure out the effect of TrFE content on the crystallization behavior and electroactive properties, films with different blend ratios of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) were prepared. We found that the PVDF films exhibit higher crystallization activation energy (ΔE) as PT content increases. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) in the piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) mode illustrated that P5T5 films with equal contents of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) induced the highest d₃₃ values.     

The influence of nanoparticle fillers on the morphology of a spin-cast thin film polymer blend

Polymer/nanoparticle composite films are receiving growing attention thanks to their potential for application in ultra-thin electronic and optical devices. Polymer blend demixing has been shown to be a suitable technique for the structuring of polymer thin films and the patterning of nanoparticles (NP) within them. In this work we show that the morphology of thin polymer films made by spin-casting a polymer blend solution containing NP fillers on a surface depends strongly on the concentration of NP fillers. More specifically, polystyrene/polymethylmethacrylate (PS/PMMA) films formed from a toluene solution, and which demix following a nucleation and growth mechanism, were studied. It was found that both the height and the surface density of PMMA domains increased as the concentration of CoPt:Cu NPs in the film was increased. We find that similar effects are induced in a NP-free PS/PMMA demixed film upon increasing the molecular weight of the PS molecules. This suggests that under certain conditions the NPs and the polymer molecules in the blend do not behave as separate species but form aggregates.     

In-situ synthesis of poly(dimethylsiloxane)-gold nanoparticles composite films and its application in microfluidic systems

We presented a simple approach for in-situ synthesis of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-gold nanoparticles composite film based on the special characteristics of PDMS itself. It is an environmentally safe synthesis method without the requirement of additional reducing/stabilizing agents. The region where the resulting gold nanoparticles distribute (in the matrix or on the surface of the polymer) and the size of the nanoparticles, as well as the colour of the free-standing films, can be simply controlled by adjusting the ratio of curing agent and the PDMS monomer. The chemical and optical properties of these composite films were studied. Using such a method, gold nanoparticle micropatterns on PDMS surfaces can be performed. And based on the gold nanoparticles micropattern, further modification with antibodies, antigens, enzymes and other biomolecules can be achieved. To verify this ability, an immobilized glucose oxidase (GOx) reactor in microchannels was built and its performance was studied. The experiments have shown that the resulting composite film may have a lot of potential merits in protein immobilization, immunoassays and other biochemical analysis on PDMS microchips.     

Controlled supramolecular assembly of micelle-like gold nanoparticles in PS-b-P2VP diblock copolymers via hydrogen bonding

We report a facile strategy to synthesize amphiphilic gold (Au) nanoparticles functionalized with a multilayer, micelle-like structure consisting of a Au core, an inner hydroxylated polyisoprene (PIOH) layer, and an outer polystyrene shell (PS). Careful control of enthalpic interactions via a systematic variation of structural parameters, such as number of hydroxyl groups per ligand (N(OH)) and styrene repeating units (N(PS)) as well as areal chain density of ligands on the Au-core surface (Σ), enables precise control of the spatial distribution of these nanoparticles. This control was demonstrated in a lamellae-forming poly(styrene-b-2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) diblock copolymer matrix, where the favorable hydrogen-bonding interaction between hydroxyl groups in the PIOH inner shell and P2VP chains in the PS-b-P2VP diblock copolymer matrix, driving the nanoparticles to be segregated in P2VP domains, could be counter balanced by the enthalphic penalty of mixing of the PS outer brush with the P2VP domains. By varying N(OH), N(PS), and Σ, the nanoparticles could be positioned in the PS or P2VP domains or at the PS/P2VP interface. In addition, the effect of additives interfering with the hydrogen-bond formation between hydroxyl groups on Au nanoparticles and P2VP chains in a diblock copolymer matrix was investigated, and an interesting pea-pod-like segregation of Au nanoparticles in PS domains was observed.
