Alternating copolymers of thieno[2,3-6]thiophene and 4,4 -dialkyl-2,2 -bithiophene, referred to as pBTCT [poly(Bithiophene-crossconjugated thiophene)] were also designed and synthesized (Table 17.1,8) [52]. The most stable backbone conformation for these polymers requires that, where possible, the sulfurs in adjacent backbone units arrange in an anti configuration in order to maximize the spatial separation [Pg.656]

A regioregular homopolymer of 3-nonylthieno[3,2-Z ]thiophene was also prepared (Table 17.1, 10) however the molecular weight was low and no evidence of thermal transitions was observed by DSC [51]. Charge transport characteristics were not reported. The homopolymer of 3,6-dimethoxythieno[3,2-f ]thiophene [53] and copolymers of 3,4-dialkoxythieno[2,3-f ]thiophene [54] have recently been reported as a possible alternative to the conducting polymer ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT). Co-polymers of thieno[3,2-Z ]thiophene [55-57] and thieno[2,3-f ]thiophene [58] with 9,9-dialkyl fluorene have also been reported for both transistor and OLED applications. In the case of the thieno[3,2-b]thiophene copolymer, the polymer exhibited thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior with a nematic phase at high temperature [59]. p-Type field effect mobilities in transistor devices were on the order of 1 x 10 cm V s . Although the value is on the low side of acceptable performance, a comparison to the well-studied [Pg.658]

Each molecule is modeled as a chain of 6 polarizable spherical units, and the surface as 8-layer slab, each layer containing 266 molecules (only part of the cluster is shown). The model is based on X-ray diffraction and dielectric constant experimental data. The two configurations used for evaluating the corrugation of the surface potential are shown.

An alternative route to prepare well-defined block copolymers is first to prepare the homopolymers with functional groups and then to connect them by noncovalent interactions [92-99], A systematic 4x4 library of block copolymers based on PSt and PEG connected by an asymmetrical octahedral (itXterpyridine) ruthenium complex at the block junction was reported [78], Moreover, the thin film morphology of this library was investigated. [Pg.53]

In a large part of what we have discussed above, we considered binary polymer mixtures. However, the situation is somewhat different, if instead of polymer blends, thin films of block copolymers are investigated. Due to the molecular connectivity of the different blocks, the inherent length scale is now determined by the size of the molecules. Early experiments focussed on the thin film morphology in symmetric diblock copolymers, where surface interactions tend to orient the block copolymer lamellae parallel to the boundary surfaces. In contrast to most bulk specimens, the planar interfaces lead to the formation... [Pg.140]

Abstract We review thin-film morphologies of hybrid liquid-crystalline/amorphous block copolymers. The microphase separation of the blocks and the smectic hquid crystalline ordering within one of the blocks are treated systematically in terms of the interaction parameters. The competition of the tandem interactions in terms of length scales and of surface anchoring can be used advantageously to control the orientation of block interfaces for nanopatterning. [Pg.71]
