AI Article Synopsis
- The study showcases the first successful creation of polymer nanowire (PNW) crystals from a diketopyrrolopyrrole-based copolymer known as PDTTDPP and explores their use in field-effect transistors (FETs).
- Transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction confirm that these PNW crystals are single-crystalline, which is a significant feature.
- The FETs made from these SC PNWs exhibit a remarkably high charge carrier mobility of about 7.00 cm²/V/s, significantly outperforming traditional thin-film transistors made from the same polymer by nearly ten times.
Article Abstract
The first demonstration of polymer nanowire (PNW) crystals based on a diketopyrrolopyrrole-based copolymer (i.e., PDTTDPP), and their application to field-effect transistors (FETs) is reported. Remarkably, transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses of the PNW reveal its single-crystalline (SC) nature. FETs fabricated of a SC PNW exhibit a maximal charge carrier mobility of ≈7.00 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) , which is almost one order of magnitude higher than that of the thin-film transistors made of the same polymer (PDTTDPP).

A classical crystallization usually grows epitaxially from a crystal nucleus. Presented in this study is an unusual endotaxy growth manner of a crystalline homopolymer to form hexagonal nanosheets. The amphiphilic homopolymer, poly(3-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)propyl methacrylate) (PAzoPMA), is first annealed in isopropanol to afford a hexagonal nut-like structure.

Silver nanowire (Ag NW)/gold nanosphere (Au NS) binary plasma films were prepared using plasma coupling between Ag NWs and Au NSs. The plasma films formed by combining these two noble metals showed better sensitivity for SERS detection with a minimum detection concentration of 10 M for R6G compared to pure Ag NWs or Au NSs. After rational optimisation of the substrate preparation process, the substrate showed good homogeneity, reproducibility and stability.

Silver, as the oldest antibacterial material, has been almost replaced by other alternatives for its insufficient activity or potential side-effects on the ecosystem due to the over-release of Ag ions (Ag). Herein, a facile and general strategy is developed to on-substrate fabricate silver coordination polymer nanowire arrays (Ag CPN) by simply immersing Ag-containing substrates into cationic surfactant solution at room temperature. Such a Ag CPN not only provides high-surface-area nano-biointerfaces for destroying microorganisms via physicomechanical interactions but also acts as a safe Ag reservoir, steadily releasing Ag at a relatively high but safe level (∼40 ppb, but lower than the safe level of 100 ppb).

Tightly confined plasmons in metal nanogaps are highly sensitive to surface inhomogeneities and defects due to the nanoscale optical confinement, but tracking and monitoring their location is hard. Here, we probe a 1-D extended nanocavity using a plasmonic silver nanowire (AgNW) on mirror geometry. Morphological changes inside the nanocavity are induced locally using optical excitation and probed locally through simultaneous measurements of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and dark-field spectroscopy.

Bone defect healing is a multi-factorial process involving the inflammatory microenvironment, bone regeneration and the formation of blood vessels, and remains a great challenge in clinical practice. Combined use of three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds and bioactive factors is an emerging strategy for the treatment of bone defects. Scaffolds can be printed using 3D cryogenic printing technology to create a microarchitecture similar to trabecular bone.
