Conjugated Polymers as Molecular Materials: How Chain Conformation and Film Morphology Influence Energy Transfer and Interchain Interactions
Abstract
▪ Abstract The electronic structure of conjugated polymers is of current interest because of the wide range of potential applications for such materials in optoelectronic devices. It is increasingly clear that the electronic properties of conjugated polymers depend sensitively on the physical conformation of the polymer chains and the way the chains pack together in films. This article reviews the evidence that interchain electronic species do form in conjugated polymer films, and that their number and chemical nature depend on processing conditions; the chain conformation, degree of interchain contact, and rate of energy transfer can be controlled by factors such as choice of solvent, polymer concentration, thermal annealing, presence of electrically charged side groups, and encapsulation of the polymer chains in mesoporous silica. Taken together, the results reconcile many contradictions in the literature and provide a prescription for the optimization of conjugated polymer film morphology for device applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
