Phase behavior of PCBM blends with different conjugated polymers
Abstract
In this work the phase behavior of [6,6]-phenyl C(61)-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) blends with different poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV) samples is investigated by means of standard and modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry (DSC and MTDSC) and rapid heat-cool calorimetry (RHC). The PPV conjugated polymers include poly(2-methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyloxy)- 1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MDMO-PPV), High T(g)-PPV which is a copolymer, and poly((2-methoxy-5-phenethoxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MPE-PPV). Comparisons of these PPV: PCBM blends with regioregular poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT): PCBM blends are made to see the different component miscibilities among different blends. The occurrence of liquid-liquid phase separation in the molten state of MDMO-PPV: PCBM and High T(g)-PPV: PCBM blends is indicated by the coexistence of double glass transitions for blends with a PCBM weight fraction of around 80 wt%. This is in contrast to the P3HT: PCBM blends where no phase separation is observed. Due to its high cooling rate (about 2000 K min(-1)), RHC proves to be a useful tool to investigate the phase separation in PPV: PCBM blends through the glass transition of these crystallizable blends. P3HT is found to have much higher thermal stability than the PPV samples. ; The research was partly performed in the framework of the IWT-project 030220 "Nanosolar" funded by the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders (IWT) and partly by the FWO-project G.0091.07. The RHC prototype was kindly provided by TA Instruments (Delaware, USA) in the framework of beta-testing program.
