  • NANOCOMPOSITE DEVICES, METHODS OF MAKING THEM, AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20080128021
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nanocomposite device comprising a polymeric matrix, semiconducting nanoparticles, and a semiconducting molecule having a field-effect mobility of at least 0.1 cm2/Vs. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of making a nanocomposite device. The method includes providing a mixture comprising a polymer, semiconducting nanoparticles, and a semiconducting molecule having a field-effect mobility of at least 0.1 cm2/Vs or a soluble precursor thereof, depositing the mixture on a substrate, and treating the mixture under conditions effective to produce a nanocomposite device comprising the polymeric matrix, semiconducting nanoparticles, and the semiconducting molecule having a field-effect mobility of at least 0.1 cm2/Vs. Thin film devices including the nanocomposite device are also disclosed.
