Abstract

Regioregular poly(3-dodecylthiophene) was investigated by temperature-dependent FTIR. Clear turning points were observed at ∼80 °C in variations of vibrational bands associated with the alkyl side chains, indicating that the thermal transitions at this temperature are side-chain melting/crystallization. In contrast, no such turning points were found for poly(3-hexylthiophene).
