“…[8,11,13,21] Among the factors affecting field-effect mobility, the molecular ordering of nanocrystallites in thin films of regioregular P3HT has been the most extensively investigated. In order to enhance two-dimensional molecular ordering, many groups have examined the outcomes of modifying the molecular parameters (regioregularity, [13,22] molecular weight, [23] and sidechain length [24] ) and processing conditions (solvent power, [8] film thickness, [25] doping level, [26] and film-forming method [27] ). Despite the resulting improvements in the field-effect mobility of regioregular P3HT, little is yet known about how the interWith the aim of enhancing the field-effect mobility by promoting surface-mediated two-dimensional molecular ordering in self-aligned regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) we have controlled the intermolecular interaction at the interface between P3HT and the insulator substrate by using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) functionalized with various groups (±NH 2 , ±OH, and ±CH 3 ).…”
