Abstract

Melt-processing of complementary semiconducting polymer blends provides an average charge carrier mobility of 0.4 cm² V^-1 s^-1 and current on/off ratios higher than 10⁵ , a record performance for melt-processed organic field-effect transistors.

Keywords: field-effect transistors; melt-processing; polymer blends; semiconducting polymers.
