About 40 years ago, semiconductor industry grew withmaterials like silicon. For few years this same industry is

interested in organic materials: the conductor polymers. These polymerscan used for organic light emitting diode (OLED), organic thin film transistor(OTFT) or RFID antenna …. The main advantage is the easymanufacturing. Indeed some soluble polymers exist, which permits the useof some printing processes for the depositing of the polymer layer and theelaboration of electronic devices. Printing processes are technologies whichare often used for the creation of a pattern and particularly inkjet printing.[1]

In this context we focus our studies on the formulation offunctional inks. Many different approaches are used for

the generation of nanoparticles in order to obtain the required properties(photoluminescence, electroluminescence, conductivity) like the sol-gelprocess or the microemulsion method. Another way (miniemulsion) isspecially formulated heterophase systems in which stable nanodroplets ofone phase are dispersed in a second, continuous phase. Because each ofthe nanodroplets can be regarded as a nanoscopic, individual batch reactor,a whole variety of reactions and processes resulting in both organic andinorganic nanoparticles can be performed. [2] To create a stable emulsionof very small droplets the droplets must be stabilized against moleculardiffusion degradation (Ostwald ripening[3]) and against coalescence bycollisions. Stabilization of emulsions against coalescence can be obtainedby the addition of appropriate surfactants, which provide either electrostaticor steric stabilization to the droplets. Once all these degradations blocked,small stable droplets ranging in size between 30 and 500 nm are formed.

A derived polymer from cellulose is used: cellulose acetate

butyrate with an average Mn of 70,000 (Aldrich). Next, the polymer isminiemulsified with a cationic surfactant (Hexadecyltrimethylammoniumbromide : HTAB). A colloidal aqueous suspension is obtained with a meandiameter of 68 nm. (Figure 1).

The influenceof a cationic

(Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide : HTAB) and an anionic (Sodiumdodecyl sulfate : SDS) surfactants are studied along with the concentrationinfluence.By variation of the relative amount of the surfactant, it is possible to vary the

particle size over a wide range. Figure 2 shows that, depending on thetype of the surfactant, different size ranges can be achieved.

An orange 2,7-poly(9,9-dialkylfluorene-co-fluorenone)

(PFFO) is synthesized by Nickel(0) coupling (Yamamoto route) of thecorresponding dibromo-monomers to obtain an efficient yellowishphotoluminescence [4]. Then, this synthesized polymer is miniemulsifiedwith cationic surfactant such as hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide(HTAB) giving stable aqueous suspensions of yellowish cationic colloidalparticles with a mean diameter of 45 nm and a zeta potential of + 68mV. Figure 3 shows three measurements of fluorescence spectroscopyrealized on the polymer: as solid state, as soluble in chloroform and asparticle in miniemulsion. The PFFO as solid state has a peak near 540nm while the PFFO soluble in chloroform peak is for 420 nm. The PFFOin miniemulsion has the two peaks at 420 and 540 nm.
