Abstract
The anisotropic nature of charge transport through organic materials requires high control over the self-assembly of the organic materials. This is particularly so for conductive polymers, where transport occurs mainly along the polymers' backbone. Herein, we demonstrate the use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to influence the self-assembly of poly(3-adamantylmethylthiophene). We employ two different SAMs, which interact with either the adamantyl- or the thiophene-functionality, respectively, and acquire distinct topologies as compared to the unmodified Au(111) surface. We compare these results with unmodified glass and mica (muscovite) surfaces, which are typically employed in the field of optoelectronics. We prove the usefulness and applicability of epitaxial effects and adamantyl substituents for organic electronics. This presents a viable way toward improved electronic performance for the field as a whole.
