INTEREST TO CONDUCTING MATERIALS WITH DIFFERENT PROPERTIES: CONDUCTING LUMINESCENT MATERIALS FOR: LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICES SOLAR CELLS SENSORS
WHY ELECTROACTIVE POLYMER-GRAPHENE BASED TRIPLE COMPOSITES? POLYMER: Easy processing, good matrix, but: no conductivity and not enough stability ELECTROACTIVE POLYMER: not enough conductivity, better interaction with filler GRAPHENE: High charge mobility, stability, inertness, but in nanoplatelets: a lot of defects decrease conductivity strongly Addition of graphene improves strongly polymer conductivity Insertion of the third luminescent component can give new conducting material with luminescent properties Problem: conducting materials quench luminescence
LUMINESCENT ADDITIVES • Luminescent polymer • Luminescent organic small molecules • Luminescent inorganic quantum dots • Luminescent carbon nanomaterials
INTRINCICALLY CONDUCTING POLYMERS Polymers have traditionally held advantages over metal or inorganic materials, such as easy synthesis and processing, chemical and structural diversity, low weight, and flexibility polypyrrol polythiophene PPP luminescent PANI

POLYMER-GRAHENE BASED LUMINESCENT COMPOSITES INTEREST TO LUMINESCENT COMPOSITES INSPITE OF QUENCHING IS TO ELUCIDATE MECHANISMS AND POSSIBILITY OF CONTROL OF QUENCHING Possible processes: Energy transfer between components Charge transfer between components For a number of luminescent polymers we did not found good candidate for low quenching
LUMINESCENCE OF TRIPHENYLPYRIDINATE IRIDIUM WITH GNP Typically: strong luminescence quenching of luminescing objects by nanocarbons. We observed only 33% quenching of iridium complex.

Promising applications of luminescent conducting nanocomposites in many areas: -optics, -electronics, -energy, -environment, -biology, -medicine, -functional smart coatings (photo- and electrochromic devices, EMI shielding, etc.), -solar cells, -catalysts, -sensors, -light-emitting devices -etc.
CONCLUSIONS • 1. Graphene nanoplatelets functionalized with luminescent nanoparticles has good prospects for wide application in electronics and other manifold fields. • 2. Polymer nanocomposites based on above fillers are attractive for creation conductive and luminescent thin films made by printing technologies for development of manifold electronic devices. • 3. The lowest luminescence quenching is obtained for Ir(ppy)3
