Three monomers,M1–M3, with modified carbazole cores and styrene functionality were polymerized by RAFT. The polymers were then used in the active layers of hybrid polymer/quantum dot light emitting diodes.

Although high-temperature operation (i.e., beyond 150°C) is of great interest for many electronics applications, achieving stable carrier mobilities for organic semiconductors at elevated temperatures is fundamentally challenging. We report a general strategy to make thermally stable high-temperature semiconducting polymer blends, composed of interpenetrating semicrystalline conjugated polymers and high glass-transition temperature insulating matrices. When properly engineered, such polymer blends display a temperature-insensitive charge transport behavior with hole mobility exceeding 2.0 cm2/V·s across a wide temperature range from room temperature up to 220°C in thin-film transistors.

ABSTRACTPowder polymer processing techniques were evaluated as a means to generate homogeneous immiscible polymer blends without the high residence times at elevated temperature and high shear rates required by extrusion. Using emulsion polymerized and cryogenically jet pulverized PMMA and HDPE powder precursors, blends were prepared with morphologies comparable to extruded blends. Advanced EDS imaging methods combined with SiO2 marker spheres enhanced electron imaging and analysis of all blend phases. These processing methods will be useful in producing polymer blends from fragile polymers, such as those used in biomedical applications, that cannot tolerate the temperature or shear rates of conventional melt processing.
