Fabrication of Polyimide‐Blend Thin Films Containing Uniformly Oriented Silver Nanorods and Their Use as Flexible, Linear Polarizers
Source abstract
Abstract
Fully aromatic polyimide films containing uniformly oriented Ag nanorods (see Figure) have been prepared by a simple method consisting of thermal curing and uniaxial drawing of submicrometer-scale phase-separated polyimide-blend films containing dissolved AgNO3. The films exhibit outstanding optical dichroism, over 20 dB (see inset), in the near-IR region due to the high aspect ratio of the nanorods and the high transparency of the matrix.

22. The highest temperature and the maximum tensile load of the home‐built drawing machine were 480 °C and 200 g respectively. In‐situ optical measurements were performed during thermal drawing using laser light passing through the samples by means of small windows made on both sides of the machine. The structural details and the methods for controlling uniaxial drawing during curing will be reported in a forthcoming paper.
