Polyferrocenylsilane Semicrystalline Polymer Additive for Solution-Processed p-Channel Organic Thin Film Transistors

“…Unlike conjugated polymers, which promote π–π interactions and cocrystallization with the organic semiconductor [ 60 , 61 , 62 ], the PFS eliminates such complicated processes, which can be otherwise undesirable for many facile processes. Furthermore, in Table 1 , we summarize miscellaneous properties of PFS [ 63 , 64 , 65 ] and compare them with those of PS. These important properties include the density, glass transition temperature, crystallization behavior, Mark–Houwink parameter and potential applications.…”

Synthesis and Properties of Poly(ferrocenylsilane)s Containing Si-Vinylene Units in the Main Chain

“…Poly(ferrocene) is one of the most synthesized and studied metallocene containing polymers due to their characteristic features derived from the ferrocene units in the polymer. The main chain type poly(ferrocene)s have been synthesized by ring opening polymerization, condensation polymerization, coupling reaction, and so on (for examples Bellas & Rehahn, 2007;Miles, Ward, & Foucher, 2009;Miles, Ward, & Foucher, 2010;Wang, Huo, Ding, & Tan, 2008;Huo, Wang, Yu, Deng, Zhou, & Yang, 2007;Cazacu, Munteanu, Racles, Vlad, & Marcu, 2006;Caracu, Vlad, Marcu, Racles, Airinei, & Munteanu, 2006;Southard & Curti, 2001). Poly(ferrocenylsilane)s have been widely synthesized by ring opening polymerization of Si bridged ferrocene compounds, as shown in Scheme 1 (for example Bellas & Rehahn, 2007).…”

Poly(ferrocenylsilane)s have been widely synthesized by ring opening polymerization of Si bridged ferrocene compounds, as shown in Scheme 1 (for example Bellas & Rehahn, 2007). Modification of substituted groups, R 1 and R 2 in Scheme 1, of the Si bridge of ferrocene compounds or resulting polymers, and copolymerization are usable to develop the highly functionalized poly(ferrocenylsilane)s (for examples Zechel, Hultzsch, Rulkens, Balaishis, Pudelski, Lough, & Manners, 1996;Nanjo, Cyr, Liu, Sargent, & Manners, 2008;Qian, Lu, Cambridge, Guerin, Manners, & Winnik, 2012;Sui, Hempenius, & Vancso, 2012;Wang, Wang, Wang, Chen, Yu, Wang, & Wang, 2006;Gilroy, Rupar, Whittell, Chabanne, Terrill, Winnik, Manners, & Richardson, 2011;Roerdink, van Zanten, Hempenius, Zhoug, Feijen, & Vancso, 2007;Ren, Shaushan, Liu, & Tong, 2007;Bunz, Maker, & Porz, 2011).…”

Immobilization of Poly(1,1-dimethysilacyclobutane) by Means of Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerization on Organic Nanoparticles and Reinvestigation of Crystallization

“…For example, well-defined BCs consisting of polyisoprene and polymers with laterally bonded alkyl-silane groups were recently prepared by sequential anionic polymerization and have been used as membranes for gas separation applications [22]. The anionic ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ring-strained cyclic silanes, carbosilanes and metal-containing carbosilanes has also been reported and lead to well-defined polymers [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Out of all cyclic carbosilanes, 1,1-dimethylsilacyclobutane (DMSB) is a well-known monomer, due to its convenient chemical and also commercial availability.…”
