摘要
Shear-modulated scanning force microscopy (SM-SFM) is introduced as a nanorheological characterization method for the determination of optoelectronic properties of semiconducting polymer thin films (<100 nm). In this letter, the photoluminescence quantum efficiency of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) was directly correlated to the glass transition property by SM-SFM. Conformational changes and chain packing were discussed as a function of the conversion temperature of the soluble PPV precursor. Compared to the bulk, very low glass transition temperature values in the range of 65 to 85 degreesC were found, which imply an increased molecular mobility in thin films of conjugated polymers.
