Physical Interactions of Carbon Nanotubes and Conjugated Polymers

Abstract

Single walled carbon nanotubes are shown to interact with a conjugated polymer in a periodic manner. Here this interaction is probed using electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy optical and vibrational spectroscopy. The spectroscopic behavior of the polymer is seen to be dramatically affected, which is attributed to conformational changes due to the effect of the nanotubes.
