ABSTRACT:

The Scope of Research into Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials and Their Potential Technological Applications, Developing superior organic nanostructures calls for a bottom-up strategy, and techniques like self-assembly and layer-by-layer deposition is well adapted to this end. Dodecyl methyl viologen (DMV) and coronene tetracarboxylate (CS) self-assembled nanofibers exhibit remarkable electrical characteristics and have potential applications in devices such as Field Effect Transistors and Humidity Sensors. DMV-CS nanofibers change shape as the surrounding humidity does, as well as what goes into their formation during the drying process. Micelles, which make up DMV-CS SAN, were shown to have an internal hexagonal ordering and elliptical distortion in the individual micelle as humidity was increased.
