ABSTRACT:We report the synthesis, characterization, microphase separation, field-effect charge transport, and photovoltaic properties of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)-bpoly(3-cyclohexylthiophene) (P3HT-b-P3cHT). Two compositions of P3HT-b-P3cHT (HcH63 and HcH77) were synthesized with weight-average molecular weights of 155,500 and 210,800 and polydispersity indices of 1.45 and 1.57, respectively. Solvent-casted HcH77 was found to self-assemble into nanowires with a width of 12.5 6 0.9 nm and aspect ratios of 50-120, as observed by TEM imaging. HcH77 and HcH63 annealed 280 C were observed by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) to be microphase-separated with characteristic length scales of 17.0-21.7 nm. The microphase-separated domains were shown to be crystalline with interlayer backbone (
