Combined wet lithography and fractional precipitation as a tool for fabrication of spatially controlled nanostructures of poly(3-hexylthiophene) ordered aggregates

Abstract

Herein, we propose an easy and practical method for the fabrication of highly ordered supramolecular structures. The proposed approach combines fractional precipitation and wet lithography, to obtain a spatially-defined pattern of submicrometric structures with a high molecular order of poly(3-hexylthiophene). The process is demonstrated by XRD, confocal and time-resolved spectroscopy and by the performance of an effective field effect transistor.
