Abstract

We report the fabrication and characterization of the self-assembled structure of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO)-capped CdSe nanocrystals in binary polymer phase separated films of polystyrene (PS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP). These structures are formed via demixing of CdSe nanocrystals and binary polymer during spin coating. The nanocrystals preferentially segregate to the PS-rich phase in phase separated PS/PMMA and to the P2VP-rich phase in phase separated PS/P2VP, as shown by optical microscopy and photoluminescence images. For CdSe/PS/PMMA, we attribute the driving force for CdSe segregating to the PS-rich domain to the stronger attractive interaction of TOPO on PS with respect to PMMA due to polarity, and in the case of CdSe/PS/P2VP, segregating to the P2VP-rich domain to the interaction such as coordinate bonds being formed between pyridine groups and surface Cd atoms.
