STRUCTURAL STUDIES ON SYNDIOTACTIC POLYSTYRENE / POLY(3-HEXYL THIOPHENE) COMPOSITE
Composites composed of syndiotactic polystyrene and Poly (3-hexyl thiophene) have been prepared by making a hybrid thermoreversible gel in p-xylene. We expect to obtain a novel material with enhanced photo-physical properties. The composites have been characterized with UV-Vis and XRD studies. Morphological studies reveal the presence of fibrillar network in the gel. Absorption studies show the presence of vibronic bands that are indicative of formation of P3HT nano-aggregates within the sPS matrix. The issue remains unanswered about the place where P3HT chains are individually located inside sPS crystalline lattice, thus generating a molecular compound, or simply forming fibrils that pervade the sPS gel. By using appropriate labelling (deuterated syndiotactic polystyrene and deuterated p-xylene) we expect to determine the structure of the hydrogenousP3HT moiety.
