Article Description

Using an anodic alumina membrane with an ordered nanopore array as a template, we have fabricated a two-dimensional light-emitting nanopolymer array by embedding the luminescence polymer poly[2-methoxy-5- (2′ -ethyl-hexyloxy)- p -phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) into the nanopores. It is revealed experimentally that the conformation of the MEH-PPV chains in the nanopores is in the form of a bunch of polymer chains. The number of the polymer chains in a bunch depends on the concentration of the polymer solution and the diameters of nanopores in the template. Investigation on the photoluminescence spectra of the nano-MEH-PPV array annealed under different temperatures shows that the nanopores can effectively hinder the relaxation of MEH-PPV, which leads to its high thermal stability. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
