Topography and 'pull off' curves are two of the most important among the many available AFM modes, which are enabling the morphological and mechanical properties investigations of the surfaces. It is known that nanocomposites synthesizing has attracted the worldwide scientists' interest, due to the enlarged properties of these materials. There are few studies on P3OT:SWCNTs nanocomposites used in OPVs when compared to fullerene derivatives and even fewer focused on mechanical properties, as the main research direction was to increase the efficiency. In this paper, preparation and characterization of the P3OT pure polymer and 12% f-SWCNTs:P3OT nanocomposite, respectively, were reported. The experimental results showed the noticeable effect of the carbon nanotubes addition into the polymer matrix. The surface roughness of the nanocomposite increased due to the presence of the fSWCNTs, while the adhesion force values decreased. The adhesion force variation distribution becomes more uniform, with the carbon nanotubes addition into the host.
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.
