Polyethylene dithiophene nanotubules

摘要: Conducting nanotubules can be produced by deposition of either metals or conducting polymers onto the walls etched ion tracks. Here we shall report specifically on formation polyethylenedithiophene (PEDT), which belongs to most advanced class polymers. PEDT tubules are in situ polymerisation EDT. A disadvantage EDT solution is that it non-wetting normal To make wetting - and hence let penetrate into tracks, inner surfaces tracks host have first oxidized. This enabled boiling microporous foils KMnO/sub 4/ solution. The correlation between oxidation time quality tubule (as determined its resistivity) presented. Tubules polythiophenes do not possess degree perfection, as of, e.g. metals, fullerite, insulating Especially, scanning micrographs them reveal a great variety forms, unfortunately limits their applicability miniaturization. regions with embedded show up nicely atomic force micrographs, when using tips.
