Abstract

Elegant strategies previously developed for the control of conjugated polymer chain conformation, alignment and assembly are accomplished in templated matrices such as stretch-aligned polymers, 3 nematic liquid crystals, 4 roll-cast block copolymers, 5 mesoporous silica, 6 designed supramolecular aggregates, 7 and controlled deposition from an air–water interface. 8 Herein, we describe the extension of the last strategy to include polar ...
