Abstract

Films formed by gold nanoparticle–polyoctylthiophene blends exhibit interesting structure-related properties. Microscopy studies reveal large-scale fluorescent structures spanning 1–2 microns in length, which are modulated by the metal nanoparticle distribution. Fluorescence spectroscopy measurements of the films with different concentrations of the polymer relative to the nanoparticles show interesting changes in the polymer emission bands.
