摘要
The conductivity of colloidal inks composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), 2-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-5-(4-biphenylyl)-1,3,4- oxadiazole (tPBD) or polystyrene-tPBD copolymerized colloids (PS-PBD) and carbon black (CB) were investigated to establish their percolation characteristics. The PS-PBD colloid supported inks (PEG/PS-PBD/CB) exhibited reduced percolation thresholds and enhanced conductivities above that of the individually carbon filled (PEG/CB) and small molecule blend (PEG/tPBD/CB) inks. Based on the DC conductivity analysis, the percolation threshold of the PEG/PS-PBD/CB composites was 3.6 vol%. The electrical resistivity of the PEG/PS-PBD/CB ink is lower than that of PEG/PBD/CB ink with the same CB content in the percolation region by 8 orders of magnitude. The percolation reduction was attributed to the heterogeneous dispersion of conductive filler aggregates "bridged" by PSPBD colloids. The aggregated dispersion of PS-PBD colloids in the ink matrix was characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) which produced a red-shift at high concentrations, signaling the required proximity of PS-PBD colloids to form energy transfer complexes.
