Abstract
We developed an approach, i.e. solvent-assist crystallization (SAC), for growing high quality single crystals of head-to-tail regio-regular poly(3-butylthiophene) (P3BT). By means of atomic force microscopy, electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction, we found that P3BT macromolecules formed lamella single crystals through gradient crystallization, and in the single crystals, molecules packed normal to the lamella with extended-chain conformation with alkyl side chains in the growth front during crystallization.
