- Abstract
- A study was conducted to demonstrate a high-performance organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) with a dithienyylethylene-containing alkyl thiophene copolymer, poly(1,2-(E)-bis[2-(5-bromo-3-dodecyl-2-thienyl)-5-thienyl]ethene) (PEVT12T). An unsubstituted dithienyylethylene unit was symmetrically inserted between dodecylthiophenes to conduct the investigations. It was also demonstrated that the introduction of alkyl groups as electron-releasing groups decreased the oxidation potential of the thiophene ring by approximately 0.20 V. PETV12T-based OTFTs showed a high charge-carrier mobility of 0.15 cm 2 V-1 s-1 with a relatively high oxidative stability. The thermal properties of PETV12T were also investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with a scan rate of 10 °C min -1. It was observed that thermal behavior of PETV12T was similar to that of the high-performance liquid-crystalline conjugated polymers pBTTT and PQT.
