    摘要: A conjugated azopolymer and methods for making same. The azopolymer includes a plurality of monomer units containing isoindigo with R1 and R2 substituent groups, wherein R1 can be one or more C1 to 30 hydrocarbons; and R2 can be H or F. The azopolymer can have a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 4 to 20 kDa; a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 12 to 50 kDa; and a poly dispersity index (PDI) of 2 to 3. The polymer can further have selected maximal wavelengths (λmax) of 481 to 709 nm and electrochemical reduction events of −0.4 to −1.0 V against an Ag/AgCl reference electrode.

    摘要: Methods of making solid-state semiconducting films. The methods include forming a mixture by mixing at least two monomers in a pre-determined proportion such that at least one of the at least two monomers contains at least one non-conjugation spacer. Polymerization of the mixture is achieved by reacting the monomers with one another resulting in a solid state polymer which is then purified. The purified solid state polymer is dissolved in an organic solvent to form a homogenous solution which is then deposited onto a substrate, forming a solid-state semiconducting film by evaporating the solvent. Alternatively, the purified solid state polymer is deposited onto a substrate and heated to form a liquid melt, and cooling the liquid melt results in a solid state semiconducting thin film. Also, films comprising a semiconducting polymer composition containing a minimum of one non-conjugation spacer and devices comprising such films.
