Abstract
Provided is a polymer nanowire which contains nanoparticles so as to have new functionalities. A thin film 103 is formed on a substrate 101 and includes functional nanoparticles and polymers, and further includes a photosensitive pigment as required. The thin film 103 is irradiated with a pulsed laser. This causes a polymer nanowire 109 containing the functional nanoparticles to grow from a surface of the thin film 103.
Claims15
A polymer nanowire containing nanoparticles.
A method for producing a nanoparticle-containing polymer nanowire, the method comprising:
- irradiating, with a laser, a thin film including at least polymers and nanoparticles;
- and
- growing a polymer nanowire containing the nanoparticles from a position in the thin film which has been irradiated with the laser.
