title = "Manufacture and characterization of transparent conductor polymer coatings doped with graphitic nanofillers for optoelectronic devices",
abstract = "The main goal of this work is the addition of electrically conductive nanofillers into a semiconducting polymer, poly(triarylamine) (PTAA), in order to increase its electrical conductivity, while retaining its transparency and mechanical behavior in order to enhance its applicability on photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. This work consists on the optimization of the dispersion of graphitic nanofillers, using carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoplatelets. The dispersion degree is analysed by optical microscopy and image analysis software for the PTAA composite films doped with graphene. The transparency of the doped polymer films in the visible spectra range is further evidence of the dispersion quality. The obtained results confirm the importance and necessity to optimize the experimental conditions of manufacturing, such as the spin-coating conditions and type and concentration of graphene. The optimized procedure allows for manufacturing of transparent films with high nanofiller contents, close to 10 - 20% for polymer films doped with graphene nanoplatelets and 0.7 - 2% for polymer film doped with carbon nanoplatelets.",
