Abstract

ABSTRACT Several crosslinkable oxetane-functionalized copolymers, containing regio- regular segments of 3-hexylthiophene, are synthesized using the Grignard metathesis polymerization. The optical and electrochemical properties of the new polymers, both in the soluble and crosslinked forms, are reported. These polymers are used in the preparation of organic photovoltaics upon blending with PCBM as electron-acceptor. The effect of the ...
