The optical and electronic structures of poly (N-carbazole) (PVK) blend with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (PVDF-HFP) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in the same composition were investigated. Polymer coating was carried out using doctor blade technique on a glass substrate. Uv-vis and photoluminescence spectrum revealed that there are significant different results obtained between PVK, PVK:PVP and PVK:PVDF-HFP. The electronic parameters such as absorption edge (Ee), allowed direct bandgap (Ed), allowed indirect bandgap (Ei) and Urbach edge (Eu) were calculated by using Tauc/Davis-Mott Model. The value of Ee and Ed for PVK and PVK:PVDF-HFP almost same but there was significant different value between Eu and Ei.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
