Poly(p-phenyleneethynylene)s (PPEs), made of rigid backbone with alternating arylenes and ethynylenes, exhibit high conductivity and chemical stability, and thus they have huge potentials for various applications. According to recent reports, sidechain-engineered PPEs can be readily attached to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) through π-π interactions, revealing a well-defined morphology of SWNT-semiconducting polymer composites (PPEs/SWNTs). In this presentation, we further demonstrate that PPEs/SWNTs can effectively modify the surface of silica fiber with high efficiency through the molecular interactions between sidechains of PPEs and the fiber. For this purpose, we present the synthesis of new cyclodextrin-encapsulated PPEs, with which physical modification of inorganic fibers with carbon nano-materials was achieved. |
