Controlled crystallization of semiconducting polymer thin films — •Sabine Ludwigs — Institute for Polymer Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany

The talk will give an overview over current activities in my team on the morphological control of semiconducting polymers for applications in polymer electronics. Different methods to induce and control crystalline order over large areas in thin films will be presented. These include swelling and deswelling in defined solvent vapour atmospheres of good solvents and crystallization under confinement and with external fields. Regarding polymer materials we are currently extending our studies from conventional p-type semiconductors based on pure thiophenes like P3HT[1] to high performance p-type low bandgap polymers such as PCPDTBT[2] and n-type polymers such as PNDI2OD-2T[3]. The control of molecular orientation over macroscopic distances allows us to study the relationship between the polymer microstructure and the resulting charge transport properties along specific crystallographic directions.
