Synthesis of Poly(paraphenylene vinylene)—Polystyrene- Based Rod-Coil Block Copolymer by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization: Toward a Self-Organized Lamellar Semiconducting Material
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used as a versatile route to well-defined poly(diethylhexyl-p-phenylenevinylene-b-styrene) (PPV-b-PS) semiconducting block copolymers. For this purpose, original conjugated macroinitiators were synthesized from DEH-PPV and further used for the copolymerization reaction. The microphase-separated morphologies obtained with the semiconducting PPV-bPS block copolymer fulfill the basic structural requirements required to build efficient organic photovoltaic devices.
