摘要
Poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(3-(3-thioacetylpropyl) oxymethylthiophene) (P3HT)-b-(P3TT) diblock copolymers were synthesized and manipulated by solvent-induced crystallization to afford reversibly cross-linked semiconductor nanowires. To cross-link the nanowires, we deprotected the thioacetate groups to thiols and they subsequently oxidized to disulfides. Cross-linked nanowires maintained their structural integrity in solvents that normally dissolve the polymers. These robust nanowires could be reduced to the fully solvated polymer, representing a novel, reversible cross-linking procedure for functional P3HT-based nanowire fibrils. Field-effect transistor measurements were carried out to determine the charge transport properties of these nanostructures.
