Self-assembled nanopillar arrays by simple spin coating from blending systems comprising PC61BM and conjugated polymers with special structure†
Abstract
Three conjugated D–A copolymers were found to form well-defined nanopillar arrays through facile spin-casting process when blended with fullerene derivatives. Research results indicate that the presence of large coplanar segments and intramolecular S⋯O attractive interactions in the polymers are both crucial factors for achieving self-assembled nanopatterned pillar arrays.
