Abstract
Here, we reported mass-produced organic nanowires with uniform sizes based on poly(9,9-dioctylflurorene) (PFO), poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole) (F8BT), (regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) which are well known as organic semiconductors for opto/electronics applications, using a melt-assisted wetting method with anodic alumina membrane. The conjugated polymer nanowires showed uniformed diameters (D=250~300 nm) and lengths ($L={\sim}30{\mu}m$) with defect free smooth surface regardless of a kinds of semiconductors. In addition, the nanowires were uniformly deposited onto glass substrates by spray-coating method. Under the UV light irradiation, PFO and F8BT nanowires showed blue and yellow emissions, respectively.
