Trade-off between mechanical flexibility due to amorphicity and highly facile charge transport emanating from molecular crystallinity demands the orientation of conjugated polymers (CPs) for their utilization as active semiconducting material for flexible organic electronics. We have already demonstrated that it is rather easy to orient nonregiocontrolled poly(3-hexylthiophenes) (NR-P3HT) as compared to their highly regioregular counterparts due to very high alkyl chain interdigitation. To provide an amicable solution, efforts have been directed to orient blends of two CPs such as NR-P3HT (amorphous and flexible) and poly(2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (PBTTT) (crystalline and facile charge transport) using a solution-based procedure floating film and transfer method (FTM). FTM-processed thin films of this blend system exhibited very high field effect transistor (FET) mobility reaching up to 0.1 cm2/V s, which is much higher than the corresponding individual CPs. In spite of only 10% incorporation of PBTTT in blend of NR-P3HT and PBTTT, there was a synergistically enhanced optical dichroic ratio (4.6 to 7.2) and FET mobility (8-fold) as compared to pristine NR-P3HT. At the same time, there was a 5-fold enhancement of FET mobility when 20% NR-P3HT was added in PBTTT as compared to that of PBTTT. This synergistic enhancement of charge carrier transport in the blend system has been explained by formation of oriented self-assembled fibrous domains of NR-P3HT and facile interdomain transport in crystalline PBTTT.
