Abstract

Polymer materials have been widely studied due to their large potential of application in technological fields because of their excellent and diverse properties. Morphological and rearrangement state of synthesized polymers has significant effect on their physicochemical properties and influence the performance of these materials in thin films structures. It is of both fundamental and practical importance to understand the effect of synthesis parameters and changing such parameters on optical, electronic, electrical and morphological properties of polymer surfaces and thin films for the development of new functional polymers and their applications. In this article, the fundamentals of optical, charge career and morphological mechanics are presented for quantifying the use of synthesis parameters for thin films physicochemical properties tuning. Pyrrole with 2-nitrocinnamaldehyde based copolymers have been synthetized by varying synthesis parameters such solvent, reaction time and temperature which proved a relevant effect on the morphological and optoelectronic properties of the relative final deposited thin films. The study proved that the best opto-electric properties are obtained by using either acetone with a long reaction time or chloroform with a short reaction time and room conditions for the pressure and reaction temperature. The optimized PPNC thin films showed a narrow absorbance covering the entire visible optical spectrum and a considerable conductivity of 10.3 104 S/cm ensured by a charge mobility of 677.1 cm2/Vs. The electrochemical study proved that the electronic energy level could be optimized from the synthesis parameters as well as the gap varying around 3.0 eV depending on the optimal conditions.
