Effects of Scale-Hierarchy in Ordered Electro-Active Polymer Nanocomposites

Abstract

Electroactive nanocomposites are generally composed of a "minority" nanophase and a majority-phase host. Interaction between the phases is three fold: exchange of charge mediation of radiative energy, and morphological based on energy minimization. The mesostructure of the nanophase can strongly influence the properties of the composite to the point of being totally dissimilar to the original pure organic. This program was intended to introduce levels of order from studies of fractally connected to fully coordinated assembly.
