| Abstract
| - The interaction between gold nanoparticles in apolar solvents and polypyrrole or polythiophene films of varous types is investigated. Regular and full monolayers and multilayers are produced via solution processing using gold nanoparticles and soluble polypyrrole or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). The new layered materials, characterized by cyclic voltammetry, UV−vis spectroscopy, AFM, and conductivity, are uniform, stable, and mechanically robust. Gold/polymer multilayer conductivities (3−6 × 10−2 S cm−1) are comparable with those previously reported for other multilayered gold nanoparticles of the same size.
- Strong interactions between gold nanoparticles in apolar solvents and polypyrrole or polythiophene films allowed to produce regular and full monolayers and multilayers via solution processing using soluble polypyrrole or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). Gold/polymer multilayer conductivities (3−6 × 10−2 S cm−1) are comparable with those previously reported for other multilayered gold nanoparticles of the same size.
