Physical Interactions of Carbon Nanotubes and Conjugated Polymers

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

Single walled carbon nanotubes are shown to interact with a conjugated polymer in a periodic manner. Here this interaction is probed using electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy optical and vibrational spectroscopy. The spectroscopic behaviour of the polymer is seen to be dramatically affected, which is attributed to conformational changes due to the effect of the nanotubes.
