ABSTRACT
Nanoparticle polymer composites have enabled material multifunctionalities that are difficult to obtain otherwise. A simple modification to a commercially available resin system enables a universal methodology to embed nanoparticles in resins via spatial, temporal, thermal, concentration, and chemical control parameters. Changes in nanoparticle density distribution are exploited to demonstrate dynamic optical and electronic properties that can be processed on-demand, without the need for expensive equipment or cleanroom facilities. This strategy provides access to the control of optical (cooperative plasmonic effects), electronic (insulator to a conductor), and chemical parameters (multimetal patterning). Using the same composite resin system, the followings are fabricated i) diffraction gratings with tuneable diffraction efficiencies (10-78% diffraction efficiencies), ii) organic electrochemical transistors with a low drive voltage, and iii) embedded electrodes in confined spaces for potential diagnostic applications.
