本研究利用去極化動態光散射 (DDLS)、動/靜態光散射 (DLS/SLS)、小角度X光散射 (SAXS),及穿透式電子顯微鏡 (TEM),探討區域隨機聚(3-己基噻吩) (RRa-P3HT) 於甲苯、氯苯溶劑中,及兩種不同濃度 (0.7 mg/mL、7.0 mg/mL),溶液狀態下的粒徑大小及結構特徵。經去極化動態光散射實驗所示,RRa-P3HT於兩系統中,皆未發現非均向性結構;由靜態光散射實驗解析出甲苯及氯苯系統中皆有球形結構生成,此結構特徵與上述結果吻合,且聚集體尺寸隨濃度提升而增大。動態光散射實驗部分可見,兩系統之衰退速率分佈,皆先後出現與散射向量分別呈二次方相關,以及零次方相關之波形。此外,於同一濃度下,RRa-P3HT於甲苯溶劑中生成粒徑較大的聚集體,可藉此推論對於RRa-P3HT,氯苯具較佳的溶解能力。
The particle size and structural feature of regiorandom P3HT (RRa-P3HT) in two solution systems, toluene and chlorobenzene, with two distinct concentrations (0.7 mg/mL and 7.0 mg/mL, respectively), were investigated by dynamic/static light scattering (DLS/SLS), depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. According to the SLS experiment, RRa-P3HT formed sphere-like structure in both solvents, but the aggregate size found in toluene is always larger. Results from the DDLS experiment agree with the SLS analysis, suggesting that RRa-P3HT formed isotropic structure in all solutions investigated. In the DLS analysis, the decay rate of the fast mode shows q2 dependence, while the slow mode is q0-dependent in both solution systems. Moreover, the aggregate size found in 7.0 mg/mL chlorobenzene solution is similar to that formed in 0.7 mg/mL toluene solution, which implies that solvent quality plays an important role dictating the aggregation properties of RRa-P3HT.
