Surface effects on network formation of conjugated polymer wrapped semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes and thin film transistor performance

SWCNT network morphology and TFT performance of polyfluorene wrapped sc-SWCNT on different substrates is reported. The polymer/tube weight ratio and concentration impacts network formation and device performance. Hydrophilic SiO2 surfaces show stronger adsorption compared to poly-l-lysine treated SiO2, which leads to more uniform and higher density networks. TFTs with mobility up to 38 cm2/Vs with
