Abstract: | It has been shown that the films of a soluble conjugated polymer poly[(9,9-dioctyl-2,7-divinylene fluorenylene)-alt-{2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene}] for electronic devices can be prepared by the electrophoretic deposition with polymer suspensions derived from dilute polymer solutions which are so dilute that the conventional spin-coating technique is not applicable. For example, a 100 nm-thick film can be prepared on an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode from a suspension from solution containing 0.1 g/l of the polymer. The thickness of the polymer film deposited is found to be almost proportional to the concentration of the polymer, and the linearity down to 5.0 × 10?3 g/l is confirmed. On the other hand, it has been found that coating the ITO electrode with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) salt results in low and nonlinear deposition rate. |
