Morphology and Intramolecular Interactions in P(VDF-TrFE) Electrospun Nanofibers Doped with Disperse Orange 3 Dye: A Joint Infrared Spectroscopy and Electron Microscopy Study
Abstract:In this study, we
describe a host–guest system consisting
of a push–pull dye, the 4-amino-4′-nitroazobenzene (Disperse
Orange 3,
DO3
), mixed with the copolymer poly(vinylidene
fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) [
P(VDF-TrFE)
] as a potential
candidate for nonlinear optics (NLO) applications. We developed electrospun
nanofibers of the polymer/dye blend, showing a highly anisotropic
molecular structure, where
DO3
molecules are mostly oriented
