Impact Of Fabrication Parameters On The Internal Structure Of Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) Nanoparticles, Dana Desiree Algaier
Doctoral Dissertations
Morphological control of organic functional materials is central to understanding and improving upon current technologies. The ability to create hierarchical assemblies with purposeful design from nano to meso scale has remained largely unattainable. This body of work aims to provide a foundation for creating nanoscale domains of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) that can be used as building blocks to larger scale assemblies. We present a method for the fabrication of P3HT nanoparticles on the ability to vary the particle size and more importantly, the internal structure. We have identified the oil phase and surfactant as parameters able to influence the nature …

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSESSTS AMHERST Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMERST Directed by Professor Michael D. Barnes Development of new materials and assembly strategies for organic semiconductor-based optoelectronic materials is a problem of great interest worldwide, as researchers seek to resolve the questions pertinent to the creation of inexpensive, reliable, efficient, and stable active layer components. Organic semiconductors as the basis for photovoltaic active layers show significant promise for these applications. However, there is still much that needs to be understood about the molecular scale structural …
