摘要：

In this paper, we explain why specific mixed solvent composition leads to appropriate film formation of composite (polymer: inorganic nanoparticle) during spin coating. As a typical case, P3HT:TiO2 film formation has been discussed by taking chloroform as good solvent for P3HT while ethanol, methanol, and 2-propanol are used as co-solvents for dispersing TiO2. Mixed solvent evaporation dynamics during film drying has been simulated to explain the experimental results. Present study can be immensely useful for selecting proper solvents and their initial ratio for blend film formation of a particular phase separation. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics.
