제목 Regioregularity-Driven Phase Transition of Poly(3-hexylthiophene)-Based Block Copolymers
초록 Conjugated polymer-based block copolymers (BCPs) offer great potential to provide beneficial nanostructures for efficient organic opto-electronics. However, their complicated self-assembly behavior, attributed to the strong crystallization of the conjugated blocks, is still not well understood due to the lack of a model system. Herein, we develop a series of novel conjugated BCPs, poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine), in which the regioregularity (RR) of the P3HT block was varied from 95 to 73%. The tunable RR content allows for precise regulation of P3HT crystallization with minimal influence on the microphase-separation force between two blocks. When RR is high, the structure is characterized by P3HT nanofibrils in an amorphous matrix. In contrast, as RR decreases to 78 and 73%, P3HT crystallization is suppressed, self-assembly is dominated by the enthalpic interaction, and thermal annealing drives the formation of well-ordered lamellar or cylindrical phases.
