Abstract

This article describes the fabrication of C60-doped carbazole-based bi-functional photorefractive polyacrylates, the C60-doped concentrations are 0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 wt.-%, respectively. For these photorefractive polyacrylates, differential scanning calorimetric runs have been taken under nonisothermal conditions at different heating rates. The result indicates that the glass transition temperature Tg first increases and then decreases with increasing of C60 content. Tg of the same sample increases with increasing heating rate. The activation energy of glass transition (Eg) has been evaluated based on the Moynihan and Kissinger model. The results showed that both Eg values obtained from Kissinger's and Moynihan's relations are in good agreement.

Kurzfassung

In diesem Beitrag wird die Herstellung von C60-dotierten Carbazol-basierten bi-funktionalen photorefraktiven Polyacrylaten beschrieben, wobei die Konzentration der C60-Dotierung entsprechend 0,0, 0,2, 0,5, 0,7 bzw. 1,0 wt.-% betrug. Für diese photorefraktiven Polyacrylate wurden differentialkalorimetrische Durchläufe unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen und bei verschiedenen Aufheizraten durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Glasübergangstemperatur Tg zunächst zunimmt und dann mit zunehmendem C60-Gehalt abnimmt. In gleicher Weise nimmt der Wert von Tg zu, wenn die Aufheizrate ansteigt. Die Aktivierungsenergie des Glasübergangs (Eg) wurde basierend auf dem Moynihan und Kissinger Modell evaluiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass beide Eg Werte, die mit Kissinger's und Moynihan's Relationen berechnet wurden, gut übereinstimmen.
