P3HT is known to exist in two distinct conformations, associated with different film morphologies. These conformations consist of coiled higher-energy phase and aggregated red phase implying a more extended, planarized and better ordered conformation. These two conformations show different behaviors in absorption and fluorescence, leading to a strong impact on device performance such as OLEDs or solar-cells. We show here that the transition from one phase to the other is a phenomenon that can also be induced by temperature and occurs at a critical temperature in the polymer P3HT. We have investigated how these conformational changes depend on various material parameters such as molecular weight and polydispersity.
