title: Enhancing the Thermal Stability of Solution-Processed Small-Molecule Semiconductor Thin Films Using a Flexible Linker Approach.
abstract: Using flexible aliphatic chains to link conjugated molecular semiconductors affords a polymeric material that possesses defined conjugated segments but extended covalent connectivity, which enhances crystallinity and thermal stability in field-effect transistors and bulk heterojunction solar-cell devices when used as an additive.
