Tóm tắt

New type of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) polymer nanocomposites were prepared by a solid-state polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole in the presence of different concentration (wt%) of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The prepared PVK/PEDOT nanocomposites were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-vis spectra. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-diffraction studies were performed to understand the surface morphology and nature of the polymer composites. The characterization and morphological studies suggest that there is a conjugation between PVK and PEDOT. Furthermore, the honeycomb-patterned films were obtained by dissolving the PVK/PEDOT nanocomposites into the chloroform solvent under humid conditions. The temperature-dependent DC electrical conductivity and room temperature photo-electrical conductivity of the honeycomb-patterned films were measured. Results showed that the incorporation of PEDOT in PVK polymer has greatly improved the electrical conductivity and photo-electrical behavior of the PVK/PEDOT nanocomposites.
