Controllable Self-Assembly of 9,10-Diphenylanthracene into Micro-Nanostructures from 0-Dimension to 3-Dimension by Simple Post-Drying Thermal Annealing Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A post-drying thermal annealing method is proposed to successfully fabricate micro-/nanostructures with 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA). Through varying operating temperature, different morphologies from 0-D to 3-D of pure DPA self-assembly were achieved and studied by SEM, XRD and PL spectra. The morphology transformation mechanism was also investigated. These results indicate that varying annealing temperature is an effective way to control the supramolecular architectures of DPA. In addition, such in situ fabrication on a substrate will provide possibility for manufacture of electronic devices which normally require surface deposition of nanomaterials.
