Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Organic Electronics
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Fabricating organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) using solvent-based methods typically requires orthogonal solvents.
  • This necessity complicates the deposition of conjugated polymer layers onto polymer gate insulator layers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel approach for fabricating OFETs that circumvents the need for orthogonal solvents.
  • To explore the reduced dissolution rate of a specific polymeric film and its implications for device fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • Casting a homogeneous polymerization solution of para-bis(3-aminopropyl)hexaisobutyl-substituted T8 cage (1) with terephthalaldehyde.
  • Analyzing the dissolution rate of the resulting polymeric film.
  • Evaluating the rheological properties of the polymer films.
  • Fabricating a regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) layer on the developed polymer films.

Main Results:

  • A significantly reduced dissolution rate of the polymeric film was observed in the same solvent after casting.
  • This limited dissolution enabled the fabrication of a regioregular P3HT layer without employing orthogonal solvents.
  • Rheological analysis indicated that inter-chain physical interactions contribute to the reduced dissolution rate, even without cross-linking.

Conclusions:

  • The developed polymeric film exhibits properties that simplify OFET fabrication by eliminating the need for orthogonal solvents.
  • Physical interactions between polymer chains are key to achieving the desired reduced dissolution rate.
  • This finding offers a more straightforward and potentially cost-effective route for producing organic electronic devices.
