Self-assembled Mesostructures and their integration into light-emitting diodes
A self-assembly process for the preparation of functional mesoscopically ordered semiconducting polymer–silica
nanocomposite thin films is reported. The nanocomposites are prepared by introducing pre-synthesized
semiconducting polymers into a tetrahydrofuran (THF)–water homogeneous sol solution containing silica precursor
species and a surface-active agent. Depending on the concentration of the surface-active agent, it was possible to prepare
materials with three different types of mesostructural order. Device performances provide criteria for optimizing the selection
of synthesis chemistries, processing conditions, compositions, and structures, for light-emission properties sought.
