Abstract: Tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM) and scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM) were found to be useful scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques for the characterization of surface conductivity and morphology of the conductive ceramics-like and graphene-containing nanocomposite prepared from polyaniline/montmorillonite (PANI/MMT) nanocomposite. In this work, the changes in conductivity and morphology of PANI/MMT nanocomposites before and after heat treatment are studied. [..] Read more

Abstract: This work deals with a composite material based on polymer/inorganic nanoparticles applicable in organic electronics as an active layer. Prepared composite, containing conjugated polymer MEH-PPV as a matrix and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) as filler, was characterized using spectroscopic and microscopic methods and it was used for preparation of polymer light emitting diodes.Creation of polymer/inorganic nanocomposite by incorporation of ZnO NPs in polymer matrix leads to better injection of negative charge carriers from cathode into active layer material and thus the achieved electroluminescence of prepared device has much higher intensity (in several orders) in comparison to devices with active layer from neat polymer.
