Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a nanoparticle dispersed polymer comprising the sequential steps of:a) depositing a polymer precursor on a substrate to form a film on said substrate, wherein said precursor has a crosslinkable structure and is present in an A-stage state; b) optionally heating said polymer precursor film, so that said polymer precursor film undergoes a transition from an A-stage state to a B-stage state; c) depositing nanoparticles on said A-stage or B-stage polymer precursor film; and d) heating said A-stage or B-stage polymer precursor film, resulting in crosslinking of the polymer precursor film and diffusion of said nanoparticles into the crosslinked polymer film; wherein said nanoparticles are selected from the group consisting of metals, metal compounds, and semiconductors.
