 note = {Facile fabrication of large area [20cm (L) × 2cm (W)] uniform and oriented thin films of a variety of conjugated polymers (CPs) with minimal material wastage has been successfully demonstrated using our newly developed ribbon-shaped floating film transfer method (FTM). Under identical film fabrication conditions of FTM like hydrophilic liquid substrate consisted of ethylene glycol and glycerol (3:1), the temperature of 60°C and polymer concentration 1% (w/w) in chloroform, order of molecular orientation was found to be PQT-C12 > F8T2 > NR-P3HT > PBTTT-C14 > PTB7. Depending on the nature of polymeric backbone, CPs exhibited different optical anisotropies in their oriented thin films, which was explained in terms of nature and rigidity of polymeric chains in the light of persistent length. Organic field effect transistors fabricated using these CPs exhibited clear p-type behaviour and anisotropic charge transport. Amongst various CPs used, PQT-C12 not only exhibited the highest optical anisotropy (DR = 5.1) but also highest anisotropic charge transport (μ||/μ⊥ = 7.1). Ribbon-shaped thin films of PQT-C12 prepared by slider based FTM exhibited best device performance with charge carrier mobility of 5.0 × 10−2 cm2/V and ON/OFF ratio of 106, when films were oriented parallel to the channel direction. Interestingly, a mobility of parallel oriented thin films prepared by FTM was about two orders of magnitude higher compared to the OFETs fabricated using conventional spin coating (6.7× 10−4 cm2/V).},
