Abstract

Whiskers up to 1 cm in length were grown in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and urea solution. Raman and IR spectra discover an interaction between PVA and urea molecules. Optical and electronic microscopy data show that urea influences on PVA molecular superstructure formation. PVA whiskers prepared in urea solution can be used for organic semiconductors production which properties are determined by arrangement of polymer macromolecules.
