One-Dimensional Charge Transport in Conducting Polymer Nanofibers... 

The progress in synthesis enables us to obtain the variety of polymer nanofibers. The knowledge of charge transport mechanism in such nanostructures is of great interest for both basic and applied point of view aiming at the future nanoscale device making.

Recently, there have been some attempts to prepare PPV nanowires and nanotubes by electrospinning [380-382]. Electrospim nanofiber consisted of a binary blend of poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) with regioregular P3HT or poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) [380]. The resultant nanofiber was found to have the diameter of ca. 100-500 nm with tunable optical and charge transport properties. In this manner, electro-spiiming has been a powerful technique to fabricate polymer, ceramic and inorganic nanowire. Nanotubular structiu e and coaxial nanowire composite could be also fabricated with blend of soluble core and insoluble wall material by the electrospinning method.

In this section we focus on optoelectronic devices that are based on either the emission or the absorption properties of polymer nanofibers, jointly with transport properties that are needed to lead charge-carriers to either radiatively recombine (as in OLEDs) or separate photo-generated excitons to collect charges (as in photo-detectors or solar cells). These nanofiber-based devices combine photonic and charge-transport features of polymer nanostructures. The charge-carrier transport properties of nanofiber materials are described in detail in Chapter 6.
