Micropatterned Polythiophene Nanofibers via Electrostatic Spinning and Photolithography
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Herein we report the patterning of large conducting polymer nanofiber mats of the polyterthiophene precursor, into regular micron scale arrays of smaller mats each of which has the potential of being independently addressed. These fiber grids, micro mats of conducting polymer fibers, were prepared by the combined techniques of electrospinning, soft photolithography, and solid state electrochemical crosslinking. The micro size mats are shown to retain their electrochromic behavior, subject to expected degradation in air as reported in the literature. Our contribution to the investigation of conducting polymers in display technology is oriented towards processibility and preparation of regular conducting polymer structures.
