| Research Abstract |
The main purpose of this study is to generate and control the co-continuous morphologies of binary as well as ternary polymer mixtures by using photochemical reactions. Since photochemical reactions can be temporally and spatially induced by irradiation, we found a method to control spatially and temporally phase separation of polymer mixtures by using the newly developed "Computer-Assisted Irradiation" (CAI) method. Finally, by taking advantages of various co-continuous morphologies generated by irradiation, we were able to generate 3D networks of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in binary and ternary polymer blends, suggesting a new way to produce conducting polymers.
