Abstract
A coaxial nanocomposite including a core, which includes fibers of a first organic polymer, and a shell, which includes fibers of a second organic polymer, the first polymer and the second polymer forming a heterojunction.
Claims20
A coaxial nanocomposite diode or transistor comprising:
- a polymer core comprising a first organic polymer;
- and
- a polymer shell comprising a second organic polymer, the polymer core and the polymer shell forming an individual nanofiber comprising a uniform shell thickness around the polymer core, the first organic polymer and the second organic polymer forming an electroactive coaxial p-n heterojunction diode or transistor.
A method of forming a coaxial nanocomposite diode or transistor, the method comprising:
- dissolving a first organic polymer in a first solvent to form a first mixture;
- dissolving a second organic polymer in a second solvent to form a second mixture;
- and
- electrospinning the first mixture and the second mixture concurrently to form an electroactive coaxial p-n heterojunction diode or transistor comprising a core of the first organic polymer and a shell of the second organic polymer, the core and the shell forming an individual nanofiber comprising a uniform shell thickness around the core.
