Abstract: S1.00083 : Assembly of carbon nanotube/polymer hybrids at liquid/liquid interface
Author:
Carbon nanotube (CNT)-templated polymer crystallization has led to
controllable patterns on individual CNTs. Previous work has
demonstrated
that crystalline block copolymers (BCP) can be uniformly
patterned on CNTs
and the mechanism was attributed to CNT-induced BCP phase
separation.
Herein, we report that at liquid/liquid interface, CNTs can be
bent into
nanoscale rings. The structure and morphology of these intriguing
CNT rings
were investigated using electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy.
Furthermore, these CNT rings were used as a template for polymer
crystallization. Homopolymer, BCP and gold nanoparticles have been
successfully patterned on sub-200 nm CNT rings. These unique
hybrids are of
great interest in various areas of nanoelectronics and
single-electron
devices.
