Abstract

End-functionalized poly(3-butylthiophene) with a thiol group (P3BT-S) was synthesized and used to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). It can induce the end-on orientation in the thin film which has the potential to further enhance hole mobility up to 1.1 × 10−2 cm2 V−1 s−1 in the vertical direction.
