Abstract

Composite layers PI/CuPc (500 nm thick) were deposited in vacuum by simultaneous evaporation from three evaporation sources. Two types of samples were investigated as deposited and as thermally treated at 200 C by means of FTIR and optical spectra measurements. It has been shown that the CuPc “guest” particles are embedded in the matrix volume as a a polymorph form and the thermal treatment of the investigated composite layers causes a putative change in the CuPc “guest” particle size due to the PI matrix imidization processes rather than to the CuPc phase transition..
