Abstract
We fabricated stretchable and electric conductive hybrids consisting of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-capped polyurethane (PUPOSS) and doped poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT). In order to realize robust films coexisting polar conductive components in hydrophobic elastic matrices, we employed POSS introduced into the terminals of the polyurethane chains as a compatibilizer. Through the simple mixing and drop-casting with the chloroform solutions containing doped P3HT and polyurethane polymers, homogeneous hybrid films were obtained. From the conductivity and mechanical measurements, it was indicated that hybrid materials consisting of PUPOSS and doped P3HT showed high conductivity and stretchability even with a small content of doped P3HT. From the mechanical studies, it was proposed that POSS promoted aggregation of doped P3HT in the films, and ordered structures should be involved in the aggregates. Efficient carrier transfer could occur through the POSS-inducible ordered structures in the aggregates.
