Electrospun Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) Nanofibers with Highly Extended and Oriented Chains Through Secondary Electric Field for High‐Performance Field‐Effect Transistors

Abstract: An extra electric field is introduced below the spinneret in an electro­spinning setup for producing poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanofibers. The liquid jet is greatly prolonged by the additional extensional force and thinner fibers can thus be obtained. The chain conformation and orientation in fibers are probed by differential scanning calorimetry and X‐ray diffraction techniques. Under the influence of the secondary electric field, P3HT chains are extensively stretched and aligned along the fiber axis. The… Show more

“…In this system, the enveloping of the core fluid by the sheath fluid takes place within the sheath nozzle itself. Other modifications to coaxial electrospinning, include using a triaxial nozzle for three-fluid spinning (Figure C) and adding a second electric field to extend the polymer chains along the fiber’s axis (Figure D).…”
