Patterning of light-emitting conjugated polymer nanofibres

Conjugated polymer fibres offer many advantages over other photonic materials, such as tunable properties and easy processability, making them attractive for optoelectronic applications. The waveguiding performance and emission tunability of fully conjugated, electrospun polymer nanofibres have been assessed and their forward emission shown to improve after periodic structures are imprinted using nanoimprint lithography.
