Amorphous Carbazole-based (Co)polymers for OFET Application

Abstract

In this contribution, we present the synthesis and characterization of poly[9-(4-alkylphenyl)carbazole-3,6-diyl] and poly[1,3-bis(3'-alkylcarbazole-9'-yl)-5-alkylphenylene-6',6″-diyl]. The amorphous solid state structure, reasonably good field effect mobility and on/off ratios of these novel carbazole-based polymers make them promising candidates as hole conducting materials for printed organic field-effect transistors (OFETs).
