RT Journal Article T1 A Novel Photoconductive PVK/SiO_2 Interpenetrated Network Prepared by the Sol−Gel Process A1 Ramos Zapata, Gonzalo A1 Belenguer Dávila, Tomás A1 Monte Muñoz de la Peña, Francisco de A1 Levy, David A1 Bernabeu Martínez, Eusebio AB In this work, we describe the preparation of a novel photoconductive sol−gel material based on an organic/inorganic interpenetrating network (IPN). The composition of the sol−gel photoconductive material mimics the well-known polymeric one based on poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as the charge-transporting matrix and 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone (TNF) as the sensitizer. The resulting photoconductive material (PVK/SiO_2 IPN) shows a photosensitivity of 10^-11 cm/(Ω W) in range to that reported for some analogue polymeric compounds and the highest ever reported for hybrid sol−gel materials.
