Narrow Results

Site-specific single polyaniline nanowires were fabricated through electrophoresis growth with acetone wetting. After growing the nanowires, the post-process of acetone wetting of the nanowires improved morphology, topology, and electrical conductivity with coagulation and substitution in polyaniline. They showed resistance changes of 39.57 ± 11.57% and presented 2.38 × 10^-4 ± 3 × 10^-5 Ω · cm, 133.77 ± 13.82 nm thickness, and 133.17 ± 13.01 nm width in 1 μm to 5.5 μm length. The new combined growth process of electrophoresis and acetone wetting significantly improved reproducibility, reliability, and controllability in the fabrication of single polymer nanowires.
