Zusammenfassung

A novel approach will be employed to design and produce flexible, free-standing nano-wires made of metal core (Au, Ag) jacketed with a polymer shell. The procedure consists of a one-step process in which morphology changes of photosensitive tethered thin polymer films upon UV-irradiation will be utilized for self-organized encapsulation of soft metals within polymeric material. The approach lends itself to mass-production of fibers jacketed with dielectrics, of almost arbitrary length while at the same time offering possibilities for automated integration of nano-scale systems into mic...
