Inorganic Oxide Core, Polymer Shell Nanocomposite as a High K Gate Dielectric for Flexible Electronics Applications
摘要:
Organic/inorganic core shell nanoparticles have been synthesized using high K TiO2 as the core nanoparticle, and polystyrene as the shell. This material is easy to process and forms transparent continuous thin films, which exhibit a dielectric constant enhancement of over 3 times that of bulk polystyrene. This new dielectric material has been incorporated into capacitors and thin film transistors (TFTs). Mobilities approaching 0.2 cm(2)/V (.) s have been measured for pentacene TFTs incorporating the new TiO2 polystyrene nanostructured gate dielectric, indicating good surface properties for pentacene film growth. This novel strategy for generating high K flexible gate dielectrics will be of value in improving organic and flexible electronic device performance.
Brush macromolecules having poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(styrene) (PS) side chains were prepared on the backbone of partially esterified poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) by using a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and ring-opening polymerization. The number-average degrees of polymerization of PLLA side chains and PS side chains were determined by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, and the apparent molecular weights of the brush molecules were measured by gel permeation chromatography. The relationship between the crystallization of PLLA with PLLA and PS side chain lengths was investigated. Inside a brush molecule due to the unfavorable interaction between PLLA and PS two phases were formed. Brush molecules adsorbed on mica tend to make a starlike conformation; however, they change to a globular conformation after thermal treatment.
