在纳米受限空间中, 高分子往往会表现出与本体状态不同的性质, 如异常的链段运动特性及晶相间转变行为等, 这些性质对于研究和开发新型高分子材料具有重要的意义, 因此针对受限环境下高分子的物理化学特性研究也一直是高分子界关注的焦点. 本文通过化学气相沉积法制备垂直取向排列的多壁碳纳米管阵列, 借助溶剂润湿–收缩法获得规整的高密度阵列结构, 其取向排列的碳纳米管间隙形成了准一维的纳米受限空间, 尺寸在5—50 nm尺度下可调. 进一步将共轭高分子聚(9,9-二辛基芴-2,7-二基)(PFO)填充到碳管间隙的纳米空间中, 制备PFO与取向多壁碳纳米管阵列复合膜. 结果发现在碳纳米管形成的纳米受限空间中, PFO的链段热运动行为与本征态PFO薄膜相比受到了明显的抑制, 不同晶型间转变速度大大减缓, 提高了
$\beta $ 构象的热稳定性, 同时取向排列的碳纳米管对PFO分子链取向排列分布具有明显的诱导作用, 有利于获得高性能的PFO晶体. 这种高密度取向排列的碳纳米管阵列结构未来可以用于制备优良发光性能及高稳定性的PFO光电器件.-

The conjugated polymer polyflourene has been well studied for its strong blue light emission ability and high quantum efficiency behavior. It has wide applications for light emitting diodes, sensors as well as photo-detectors. Therein the$ \beta $ conformation of PFO crystals is more attractive due to its longer conjugation length, higher carrier mobility and better luminous efficiency. Therefore it is great essential to control the formation and stability of$ \beta $ conformation of PFO crystals to develop new kind of photo-electronic devices. As is known, polymeric materials confined in a nanometer-sized space often exhibit unique properties compared with their bulk state, such as abnormal chain mobility, molecular assembly and phase transition behavior. These factors are of great significance to develop new kind of material and applications. Generally the confined condition includes quantum dot (zero-dimensional, 0D), nanowire or nanotube (1D), ultrathin film (2D) and nanoparticle (3D). In this paper, we design a unique 1D nanoconfined environment based on vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) array structure. An ultra-high CNT density is achieved through a solvent-induced contraction process. The adjacent narrow carbon nanotube gap thus forms a quasi-1 confined nano-space with the tunable size ranging from 5 to 50 nm. Then we infiltrate the conjugated polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PFO) into those nano-gaps of carbon nanotube arrays through a solvent evaporation method to obtain the PFO infilled CNT array composite film. It is found that the chain mobility of PFO molecules in such a 1D nano-confined space of carbon nanotubes is significantly suppressed compared with the scenario of the spin-coated PFO film. The transition speed between different crystal forms of PFO declines greatly, which meanwhile improves the thermal stability of the$ \beta $ conformation of PFO crystal. Additionally, the aligned carbon nanotubes have great effects on the orientation and distribution of PFO chains. The PFO crystals are confirmed to grow preferentially along the longitudinal direction of CNT array, which is potential to grow PFO crystals with high quality and excellent performance. Thus, such a PFO/CNT array composite film can have great potential to prepare PFO photovoltaic devices with excellent luminescent properties and high stability in the future.-
