<p>A novel method for the synthesis of hybrid polymer-metal nanostructures, hybrid polymer-metal compounds nanostructures and hybrid polymer-fullerenes nanostructures is disclosed. This method allows to control precisely the physical and chemical properties of the hybrid nanostructures synthesized. Furthermore, this method is extremely versatile and allows for a wide choice of materials and polymerization methods, the use of a conductive matrix, an excellent stability of the composites and the tailoring of the interaction between the components. The properties of an exemplary hybrid polymer-metal material synthesized according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention are shown. The material displays a bistable electrical behavior with high ON/OFF ratio retained in a wide temperature range and low resistivity of the active layer. The main application of these hybrid materials is in non-volatile memory devices. Nevertheless, they are also ideal for other applications such as FET, sensors, LED, photovoltaic cells, drug delivery systems and catalysts.</p> |
