Influence of molecular weight on selective oligomer-assisted dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes and subsequent polymer exchange.

چکیده
A series of oligofluorenes was synthesized and used as a SWNT selecting template to study the chain length effect on SWNTs dispersions in toluene. The octamer exhibits the same selectivity as the corresponding polymer. Nevertheless, SWNT/oligomer complexes are unstable, which allows fast exchange of the oligomer with a coating polymer.

Recent developments in the selective dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes using conjugated polymers
A significant barrier that impedes the commercialization of single-walled carbon nanotube-related applications is that all known synthetic methods produce a complicated mixture of semiconducting and metallic species. For device applications, pure semiconducting or pure metallic samples are desirable. Thus far, the purification methods that have been identified are capable of separating individu...

متن کاملPolymer-Sorted Semiconducting Carbon Nanotube Networks for High-Performance Ambipolar Field-Effect Transistors
Efficient selection of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from as-grown nanotube samples is crucial for their application as printable and flexible semiconductors in field-effect transistors (FETs). In this study, we use atactic poly(9-dodecyl-9-methyl-fluorene) (a-PF-1-12), a polyfluorene derivative with asymmetric side-chains, for the selective dispersion of semiconducting ...
