제목 Highly Aligned Ultra-High Density Array of Conducting Polymer Nanowires using Block Copolymer Templates
초록 High density arrays of conducting polymer nanowires have attracted much attention, due to their potential applications as electrochromic devices, organic photovoltaic devices, and nano-actuators. Here, we show the preparation of ultrahigh density arrays of nanowires of a conducting polymer, polypyrrole (PPy), on ITO-coated glass in a nanoporous template, prepared from a block copolymer of polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA), by electropolymerization within the template. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) shows that the main chains of PPy are highly aligned along the nanowire direction. Also, the conductivity of a single PPy nanowire measured using current-sensing atomic force microscopy (CS-AFM) was much higher than that of continuous PPy film. This high conductivity of nanowires is due to the high degree of chain orientation, even though they are amorphous and have a small separation distance of 0.36 nm for two neighboring PPy main chains.
