Planar and 3D fibrous polyaniline-based materials for memristive elements. Issue 40 (4th October 2017) - Malakhova, Yulia N.
Abstract : We discuss the effect of structure formation of Langmuir polyaniline layers on the performance of memristive thin-film elements as well as the morphology and conductivity of electrospinned PANI–PEO nonwovens. Abstract : The memristive elements constructed using polymers – polyaniline (PANI) and polyethyleneoxide (PEO) – could be assembled on planar thin films or on 3D fibrous materials. Planar conductive PANI-based materials were made using the Langmuir–Schaefer (LS) method, and the 3D materials – using the electrospinning method which is a scalable technique. We have analyzed the influence of PANI molar mass, natures of solvent and subphase on the crystalline structure, thickness and conductivity of planar LS films, and the influence of PANI molar mass and the PANI–PEO ratio on the morphological and structural characteristics of 3D fibrous materials.
