“…Conductive polymers (CPs) have been widely studied for numerous technological applications, which most noteworthy are: rechargeable batteries, [10][11][12] electrochromic devices, 13,14 protection against electromagnetic radiation, 15 packaging for antistatic protection, 15 organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), [16][17][18] electric capacitors, 19 anticorrosive adhesives, 20 artificial muscles, 21,22 photovoltaic cells 23,24 sensors, and biosensors. [25][26][27][28] Among the CPs, the polythiophenes are good materials for such application because their structure is easily modified than other CPs.…”

“…evaluated by the indirect method that consisted of the evaluation of the cell growth in the presence of samples' extracts. Melan-A cells were incubated for 24 h in the presence of PNVCL, P(NVCL-co-ABu), P3HT/ PNCVL, and P3HT/P(NVCL-co-ABu) mats extracts resultant from the incubation of the mats with the cell culture medium for different times(24,48,72, and 96 h). The viability of cells incubated in the presence of the extracts is shown in Figure4.…”

Conductive polymers can stimulate the adhesion and proliferation of several cell types being an interesting material to be applied in the field of tissue engineering. In this application, the addition of a thermosensitive polymer has been pointed out as an attractive strategy to improve mechanical strength and to provide conformation changes at temperature close to human body temperature. The main goal of this work was to evaluate the physical–chemical properties and promotion of cell proliferation and possible application as scaffolds for tissue engineering of blends of poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) and poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam‐co‐butylacrylate) (PNVCL‐co‐ABu) with poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT). Both polymers were synthesized and their chemical structures were confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT‐IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. The materials were processed in films form for structural characterization, impedance measurements, and thermogravimetric analysis. The in vitro biological assays were performed using the materials as electrospun mats. The FT‐IR was also used to characterize the blends. The addition of P3HT did not change thermal stability and showed low conductivity values of the blends. Comparing the in vitro behavior of the blends and the polymers it was possible to conclude that the presence of P3HT improved cytocompatibility and promoted cell proliferation.

“…Polythiophene derivatives, especially poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), have been studied in relation to their potential applications as photovoltaic devices, solar cells, and optical, chemical, and electrochemical sensors − because of their conductivity, luminescence, and chromism properties. − A negative point of these materials is their photodegradation, which occurs by simultaneous exposure to light and oxygen, which implies limitations in their use. Allied to this fact is their high cost compared with that of commodity polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene.…”

Studies of Langmuir and Langmuir–Schaefer Films of Poly(3-Hexylthiophene) and Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride)

The synergistic use of blends of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) or poly((vinylidene fluoride)-block-(methyl methacrylate)) (PVDF-PMMA) to form Langmuir and Langmuir–Schaefer (LS) films is reported. P3HT has wide applications in sensor devices because of its properties such as conductivity, luminescence, and chromism; however, the stiffness of the films and the difficulty in organizing the molecules may pose a problem in these applications. In this context, polymers based on PVDF can be used in the formation of thin P3HT films and present an alternative to improve the organization of P3HT molecules. In addition, PVDF acts as a plasticizer, making the film less rigid. The films were obtained from the blends of P3HT/PVDF and P3HT/PVDF-PMMA in a solution containing chloroform and DMAc (N,N-dimethylacetamide). Surface pressure isotherms, in situ ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, polarization-modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy, and Brewster angle microscopy techniques were used to analyze Langmuir films. The surface morphology of LS films was characterized by atomic force microscopy and UV–vis spectroscopy, and their degradation was analyzed by UV–vis spectroscopy after exposure to natural light under atmospheric conditions. The Langmuir films containing PVDF indicate a direct formation of the ferroelectric β phase, with dipoles parallel to the water surface. The Langmuir films formed by P3HT presented dipoles of side chains parallel and aromatic groups perpendicular to the water surface. P3HT and PVDF or PVDF-PMMA films show high molecular organization compared with pure P3HT films. The results suggest that these films could be used to improve the properties of P3HT in several device applications, such as in optical and electrical sensors.

Geleneksel yapıdaki aygıtlarda boşluk taşıyıcı tabaka olarak sıklıkla PEDOT:PSS, üst kontak olarak ise Ca ve Al gibi metaller kullanılmaktadır [20][21]. Gerek PEDOT:PSS'in asidik yapısı [22], gerekse Ca ve Al'un düşük iş fonksiyonundan [23] dolayı O 2 ile kolayca yükseltgenebilmeleri aygıtların uzun vadede kararlılıklarını olumsuz yönde etkilemektedirler.…”

Organik güneş hücreleri alternatif enerji kaynaklarından bir tanesidir. Bu teknolojinin ticarileşebilmesinin önündeki tek engel düşük verimlilik değerleridir. Bu çalışmada evrik yapıdaki organik güneş hücrelerinin verimi Ag nanopartiküllerin (np) plazmonik etkilerinden yararlanarak arttırılmıştır. Aygıt konfigürasyonu ITO/ZnO/poli(3-hekziltiofen-2,5-diil) (P3HT): (6,6)-fenil C61 bütirik asit metil ester (PCBM)/MoO3/Ag şeklindedir. Ag np’ler poliol yöntemi ile sentezlenmiş ve X-Işını difraktometresi (XRD) UV-Vis spektrofotometre ve alan emisyonlu taramalı elektron mikroskopu (FESEM) ile karakterize edilmiştir. Daha sonrasında Ag, kütlece %0,125-0,25-0,5 oranlarında P3HT:PCBM’e katkılanmıştır. Referans hücrede verim değeri %3,21 iken %0,25 Ag katkılı aygıtta yaklaşık %7’lik bir verim artışı ile %3,43 değerine ulaşılmıştır.
