The solution-processible semiconducting polymer poly(3-hexyithiophene) (P3HT) was produced by a sequence of monomer synthesis, chemical polymerization and solution phase film growth. The fundamental energy gap of the material was determined from the optical absorption spectrum to be 2.14 eV, in agr

β¦ Synopsis
We demonstrate that annealing conductive, solvent-case poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films under reduced vacuum improved their structural properties and induced higher conductivity. These preliminary results suggest that thermal processing of conductive polymers may be a useful step in their future device fabrication.

Poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) synthesized by oxidative polymerization was fractionated by molecular weight by using organic solvents. The fraction of higher average molecular weight gave higher regioregularity and conductivity. Composites of the P3HT fraction having the highest molecular weight wer
## Abstract Regioregular poly(3βhexylthiophene) has been successfully incorporated into a novel amphiphilic block copolymer. The amphiphilic nature of poly(3βhexylthiophene)β__block__βpoly(acrylic acid) has been investigated using spectroscopic methods and has yielded solvatochromic behavior in sev
## Abstract **Summary:** Nanowire lengths and lengthβtoβwidth aspect ratios in regioregular poly(3βhexylthiophene) (P3HT) were simply controlled through changes in the solvent vapor pressure during solidification. It is demonstrated that the nanowires grew by rodβtoβrod association, in which the mo
