Abstract

Realizing p-channel semiconducting polymers with good hole mobility, solution processibility, and air stability is an important step forward in the chemical manipulation of charge transport in polymeric solids and in the development of low-cost printed electronics. We report here the synthesis and full characterization of the dithienosilole-and dibenzosilole- based homopolymers, poly (4, 4-di-n-hexyldithienosilole)(TS6) and poly (9, 9-di-n- ...
