Abstract

Single-crystal-conjugated polymer (SCCP) arrays are prepared successfully via a simple method, which is a combination of the contact thermochemical reaction and solvent-free in situ polymerization. The dramatic X-ray diffraction and selective-area electron diffraction results show the high crystallinity of the SCCP arrays. These SCCP arrays display unique physical properties and show great potential in flexible electronics.
